A whole new way to deliver UI
Adaptive Cards are platform-agnostic snippets of UI, authored in JSON, that apps and services can openly exchange. When delivered to a specific app, the JSON is transformed into native UI that automatically adapts to its surroundings. It helps design and integrate light-weight UI for all major platforms and frameworks.
Made For
Meet your users where they are
Modern digital life is hectic. Users are constantly switching between devices, apps, and services to get their job done. Adaptive Cards help you increase engagement and efficiency by injecting your actionable content directly into the apps they use every day.
Integrate into existing apps
Bot Framework
A conversational bot powered by Adaptive Cards can greatly simplify business workflows on your web site or through other channels.
Microsoft Teams
As the digital hub for many modern workers, Teams offers multiple extensibilty points for apps to integrate with.
Outlook Actionable Messages
Email has long been life-blood of an information worker, and now you can deliver actionable content directly to their inbox.
Windows Timeline
Help users resume their activities on any device.
"User engagement on surveys is always a challenge, but after utilizing Outlook Actionable Messages our return rate surged from 10-12% to a 3 month average of 35%!"
Executive Support Services
Open your apps to extensbility
There's an ecosystem of developers out there who want to integrate with your apps, but how can you do so safely and without their content sticking out like a sore thumb? Adaptive Cards are always native and blend seamlessly into the surrounding UI - and they work on every major platform!

"Microsoft Teams is only as powerful as the third-party services that integrate with it. Adaptive Cards allows any developer to plug into the richness of the Teams platform in a native way."
Platform Architect
Design cards anywhere
You don't have to send your users to this website to design cards. Just like Adaptive Cards blend into their surroundings, so does the Adaptive Card Designer. The SDK includes a full configuration API allowing you to deeply integrate card workflows into your existing toolchain.
Install the Designer SDK"AtBot helps anyone write a bot without having to write code. By embedding the Adaptive Card designer directly into our web-based portal our customers can create rich, data-bound cards right from the browser."

Preview
Create, share, and discover reusable templates
What if you could instantly display any type of data? It could be your own app's data, your organization's data, or data from the web. With Adaptive Card Templating you can separate the data from card layout, and when coupled with a new template service a whole new ecosystem of card exchange becomes possible.
Create reusable card templates
Rich designer integration
Sample data allows you to preview your template without leaving the designer.
Simplify development workflows
Create your template in the designer, use it without your services, then paste it right back into the designer to make changes.
Discover and share templates using a REST service
The template service finds a template for your data, and will even populate it for you.
We want to hear from you
We don't have a release date for this preview yet, but we're waiting to learn from you.
"Teamwork offers a suite of productivity tools that integrate into many platforms. By creating reusable Adaptive Card templates we were able to deliver the same UI natively into our own apps, as well as tools our customers already use like Microsoft Teams and Visual Studio Code."
