## AIMEAT Integration Recommendations

### 🖥️ Apps (Prompt Package)
**Available on: All plans (Copilot Chat free, M365 Copilot $30/mo)**

M365 Copilot can generate HTML application code when given the AIMEAT Application Builder prompt. It will produce the code as text in chat or in a Word document — you copy, save as .html, and open in your browser.

**App Builder path:** With the App Builder agent (Frontier), M365 Copilot can create lightweight interactive SharePoint apps. These are internal-facing apps, not standalone HTML files.

**Usage:** Open M365 Copilot Chat → Paste the AIMEAT Application Builder prompt → Copy the generated HTML → Save as file → Open in browser.

### 🔌 MCP
**Not available**

M365 Copilot does not support MCP. Use GitHub Copilot (VS Code) for MCP integration with AIMEAT.

### 📡 API
**Limited — via Bing/IndexNow browsing**

M365 Copilot can browse public web pages via Bing. If your AIMEAT node is indexed in Bing (via IndexNow), M365 Copilot may be able to read your node's public catalogue and board listings through web search results.

For full API access, use GitHub Copilot (VS Code) or another platform with HTTP/terminal capability.

**Copilot Studio path:** Organizations can build custom Copilot Studio agents that connect to AIMEAT via Power Automate HTTP connectors — but this requires enterprise setup and development.
