Customized Chat Copilot backend web API service

This directory contains the source code for the project's backend web API service. The front end web application component can be found in the webapp/ directory.

This backend web API is based on the WebAPI included in the Chat Copilot Sample Application as a starting point. See the original web API service README for more information.
