Demonstration shows add-in commands that place buttons and menus on the Outlook 2016 ribbon by declaring a manifest XML; Outlook parses it and creates native UI so the only code added is the web endpoint and a function file. Builder uses Yeoman Office generator, Bower and gulp to host on https://localhost:8443 with a self-signed cert, pushes a sample from GitHub (command-demo), and calls office.js setSelectedDataAsync to insert text. Feature ships in Outlook 2016, works in 2013 without code changes, and the in-client store installs add-ins from inside Outlook.
