Updating existing applications with AI - Microsoft Build

Next week is Microsoft's yearly developer conference. To say that I am excited for Microsoft Build next week is a genuine understatement.

It's a great line-up of sessions that is going to be streamed globally, covering the latest in AI development, dev tooling and productivity and a lot of the innovation we've seen over the course of the last 18 months - since the launch of the Azure OpenAI service.

I am not the only one - Amy Kate Boyd has been sharing those daily sessions she's most excited about. Great insight into the the latest in AI development - give her a follow for some great updates throughout the year.
