Sivaprasad Yerneni Khaga · European Modern Studies Journal · 2025
This article examines the transformative impact of AI technologies on Microsoft's Office 365 development ecosystem, focusing on the integration of Microsoft Copilot with Visual Studio and the deployment of Azure AI services as development accelerators. The article explores the architectural foundations of AI-assisted development environments, evaluates code generation capabilities for O365-specific frameworks, and assesses productivity metrics across different developer experience levels. The research investigates cognitive services integration patterns, custom model deployment workflows, and compares traditional versus AI-assisted development approaches. The article further examines AI-driven DevOps practices for O365 solutions, including intelligent automation of CI/CD pipelines, performance evaluation frameworks, and security governance considerations for AI-assisted deployments. Through quantitative and qualitative assessments, the article documents efficiency improvements across the software development lifecycle while identifying research limitations and emerging trends that will shape future enterprise software development practices.
