Teams Toolkit Renamed to Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit
We are excited to announce that our product, previously known as Teams Toolkit, is being renamed to Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit. This change reflects our expanded focus and commitment to support a broader range of platforms and project types within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
As we continue to enhance our product, we are shifting our focus from solely supporting Teams development to empowering developers to create Microsoft 365 Copilot agents and other applications across the Microsoft 365 platform. These platforms include Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Teams, Office family and Outlook. This expansion in scope allows us to better serve our users by providing comprehensive tools, templates and resources for developing a wide variety of Microsoft 365 solutions.
The new name, Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, better represents the diverse functionalities and capabilities of our product. We believe this change will help our users more easily identify the full range of development opportunities available within the Microsoft 365 environment.
Thank you for your continued support as we evolve to meet the growing needs of our developer community.

A breaking change has been made to Domain-Specific Language model serialization. Developers using the default serialization mechanism for their models that contain custom property types will need to add TypeConverters for those custom property types. For an example of how to do this, see Customizing File Storage and XML Serialization.
