🚀 Quick Start - Your First Copilot in 5 Minutes

Before diving into details, here's how to create your first Copilot feature:

Step 1: Register Copilot Capability (30 seconds)

// 1. Extend Copilot Capability enum
enumextension 50100 "My Copilot Capability" extends "Copilot Capability"
{
    value(50100; "My First Copilot")
    {
        Caption = 'My First Copilot Feature';
    }
}

// 2. Register capability on install
codeunit 50100 "My Copilot Setup"
{
    Subtype = Install;

    trigger OnInstallAppPerDatabase()
    var
        CopilotCapability: Codeunit "Copilot Capability";
        LearnMoreUrl: Label 'https://example.com/copilot', Locked = true;
    begin
        if not CopilotCapability.IsCapabilityRegistered(Enum::"Copilot Capability"::"My First Copilot") then
            CopilotCapability.RegisterCapability(
                Enum::"Copilot Capability"::"My First Copilot",
                Enum::"Copilot Availability"::Preview,
                LearnMoreUrl);
    end;
}

Step 2: Create PromptDialog Page (2 minutes)

page 50100 "My Copilot Assistant"
{
    PageType = PromptDialog;
    Extensible = false;
    IsPreview = true;
    Caption = 'AI Assistant with Copilot';

    // PromptMode options: Prompt (default), Generate (auto-run), Content
    PromptMode = Prompt;

    layout
    {
        // User input area
        area(Prompt)
        {
            field(UserInput; UserPrompt)
            {
                ShowCaption = false;
                MultiLine = true;
                ApplicationArea = All;
                InstructionalText = 'Ask me anything about sales...';
            }
        }

        // AI response area
        area(Content)
        {
            field(AIResponse; AIResult)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
                Caption = 'AI Suggestion';
                MultiLine = true;
                Editable = false;
            }
        }
    }

    actions
    {
        area(SystemActions)
        {
            systemaction(Generate)
            {
                Caption = 'Generate';
                trigger OnAction()
                begin
                    GenerateAIResponse();
                end;
            }
        }
    }

    var
        UserPrompt: Text;
        AIResult: Text;
}
