Bot Framework

What is a Bot? An Internet bot, also known as web robot, WWW robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet. Typically, bots perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone.

Why building a Bot? Because you want to use bleeding-edge technology Because you have a scenario where you want to use natural language processing Because the best UI, is no UI Because we live within conversations all day long

What is the Bot Framework? Build and debug bot business logic Manage conversations with dialogs Have richer interactions with cards Connect to lots of channels Emulator for dev and test Customer’s business logic and data Bot connector C# BOT BUILDER Third-party Bot Controls Skype Bing LUIS Query over database via Azure Search Form Filling QnA WebChat Skype for Business Cortana Direct Line
