Chatbots for Dummies
Learn how to build, debug and deploy a chatbot using the Azure Bot Service and the Microsoft Bot Framework.
The software development landscape is changing. More and more, there is an increased demand for AI and cloud solutions. As a user buying cinema tickets online, I would like to simply ask "I want to buy two cinema tickets for the movie Dunkirk, tomorrow's viewing at 1pm" instead of manually following a pre-defined process. In this session, we will learn how to build, debug and deploy a chatbot using the Azure Bot Service and the Microsoft Bot Framework. We will enrich it using the Microsoft Cognitive suite to achieve human like interactions. Will it pass the Turing test, no, but we can extend the bot service using Machine Learning (LUIS), APIs (Web Apps) and Worflows (Logic Apps).
