Most innovative SharePoint experience with SPFx

[HarminderSethi]

As per the article, "UX extensible experiences with SPFx" is listed as a valid submission category. However, the GitHub page states:

Most innovative SharePoint experience with SPFx - Recognizes advanced SPFx solutions that integrate Copilot and AI scenarios. Focus on custom web parts, extensions, or experiences that go beyond out-of-the-box capabilities and provide additional AI-powered scenarios for end users, for example using Copilot APIs with custom SPFx solutions.

Based on this description, it seems that Copilot or AI integration is expected.

Could you please clarify whether an SPFx solution without Copilot/AI integration is still a valid entry for this category, and if so, will it be evaluated with equal weighting compared to solutions that include Copilot or AI features?

Yes - SPFx solutions without AI integration are absolutely valid entries as well and will be evaluated equally between other submissions. Good callout for sure. Let me a bit adjust the messaging on that category.
