AI CoPilots are all the rage - but none quite offer that personalised butler service SciFi told us we might one day have.

To understand what it takes to train a CoPilot, we will see how training a model works under-the-hood; discuss the importance of quality training data to craft a truly powerful and personalised experience, and safety or security concerns to consider when training a model on a public service.

Moving beyond the (chat) box, we will leverage Azure's OpenAI Service and Semantic Kernel in .NET to create a custom AI CoPilot for internal applications or data. We will see how to train our own custom Codex model, for generating code and commands to perform bespoke tasks against a non-public API, plus some innovative ways to glue this together with a nice user experience.

You will leave feeling excited about the power of custom CoPilots, and armed with the knowledge to build your own!
