@sholtomaud,

You shouldn't need to npm -i teams-ai for this. After you create the project, try just pressing F5 / Start Debugging in VS Code. That should work as-is.

My guess right now is that you are installing teams-ai to a newer version which has a bumped dependency package which is causing a conflict from the samples package.json settings.

I'm not doing anything other than following what you guys instructed and it's not working.

@sholtomaud Please delete openai dependency from package.json, then run npm install again. This is a known issue and has been fixed in the lastest prerelease version of Teams Toolkit.

Ok. Will do.

But why would you market/advertise this when it's broken from the get go?

Will be fixed in the stable release ASAP.
