Porting a Discord Bot to Microsoft Teams, Entirely With AI

Read on dblock.org

Summary

The author used GitHub Copilot CLI to port a Strava bot from Discord to Microsoft Teams in three days, a ~7× speedup over the three‑week manual effort. The post details token usage, cost, bugs that slipped through, and stresses that good test coverage is still essential.

  • Copilot CLI completed the Discord‑to‑Teams bot port in 3 days versus 3 weeks manually, roughly a 7× speedup.
  • The AI handled unfamiliar Azure/Entra auth, Teams manifest creation, and deployment steps, saving learning time.
  • Session used 659 API calls, ~272k output tokens and ~72.8M input tokens (mostly cache reads), costing about $25‑30 at public model rates.
  • Bugs like adaptive‑card limits and missing rubyzip surfaced only in production, underscoring the need for thorough test coverage.

Engineers evaluating AI‑assisted development for cross‑platform migrations and unfamiliar cloud services will see realistic productivity gains and the importance of testing.

  2. Migrating the GitHub Copilot runtime to Rust, using Copilot

    The Copilot agent runtime was rewritten from a 130‑k‑line TypeScript/Node.js codebase into a native Rust library (~830 k lines of Rust) to reduce startup latency, memory use, and improve reliability. The migration was done incrementally (in‑place) across 128 PRs, with AI‑generated code handling most of the work. The new runtime exposes a C ABI for in‑process embedding by all six Copilot SDK langu…
