We\u2019re excited to announce the winners of HackTogether: Teams Global Hack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is HackTogether: Teams Global Hack?<\/h2>\n

From June 1-15, 2023 we ran HackTogether: Teams Global Hack \u2013 a virtual hackathon for developers to get started building apps for Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n

In this hackathon, participants learned why they should build apps for Teams<\/a> and what<\/a> types<\/a> of apps<\/a> they can build. We showed how to build apps for Teams using the latest technologies such as the Teams AI Library, LiveShare SDK and Microsoft Teams Toolkit. Participants also had a chance to meet Microsoft’s Product Group Leaders, Cloud Advocates and MVPs. Each submitted app had a chance to win exciting prizes.<\/p>\n

The winners<\/h2>\n

We received some great submissions and were truly impressed with your creativity. We appreciate that everyone has their own journey with technology: while some have been working with Microsoft 365 for many years, others are just beginning. When judging the submissions, we looked at how innovative the app is, how does it help users and how it delivers on the promise of its category. After reviewing all hacks, we selected the following as the winners.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfc6 Grand prize winner: Live patient review<\/h3>\n

Multidisciplinary consultation (MDC or MDO in Dutch) meetings take play in a physical room. During the meeting, the doctors discuss multiple cases: how the patient is doing and what needs to be changed about their treatment. Whether it\u2019s a change of medication or a procedure. Typically, doctors discuss 4-6 cases. A meeting like that, with 10 specialists, can take several hours. One of the key challenges is that doctors often might need to leave the room to tend to emergencies. What if doctors could stay in the meeting while tending to an emergency, and lose as little context as possible?<\/p>\n

We loved how this app used multiplayer capabilities of apps for Microsoft Teams using LiveShare SDK. By being a part of the meeting, the app brings all relevant information to specialists in the context of their work allowing them to collaborate on patients\u2019 recovery.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfc5 Best AI-powered solution: Knowledge Quest Teams Bot<\/h3>\n

The Knowledge Quest Teams Bot is an interactive Chat Bot application designed to allow users to test their knowledge on specific topics using the power of OpenAI. The app provides an engaging and educational experience where users can challenge themselves and expand their knowledge in various areas.<\/p>\n

Here, we were impressed by the creativity of using AI to come up with self-assessment questions on a given topic, but also the attention to detail and the user experience of the app.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfc5 Best productivity-focused solution: Guest user overview in Teams<\/h3>\n

This app is a tool that lets admins get an overview of which guests are in their tenant, and from there perform the most common user management tasks.<\/p>\n

This project meets a common need that Microsoft 365 tenant admin have when managing their tenant. We were impressed by the app\u2019s polish and usability and how it truly boosts admins\u2019 productivity.<\/p>\n
