Project Overview:
We’re looking for an expert Microsoft-ecosystem engineer to build a custom Teams or extends our existing teams app that embeds our AI chatbot into the Teams Classroom/Classwork experience, giving educators and students persistent, in-context access to conversational AI.

- Embed our AI chatbot interface within the app’s tab or pane
- Support cross-component communication (e.g. between Graph data and chatbot iframe)
- Maintain session state and context for each class team
- Ensure responsive layout across desktop and mobile Teams clients
Authentication & Security:
- Implement Azure AD or Entra OAuth 2.0 flows scoped per class team

Key Deliverables:
- Fully configured Teams app manifest
