Building Intelligent Bots using Microsoft Bot Framework and Cognitive Services

" summary

Shows how to build a working bot end to end: create an Echo bot template locally (runs on port 3978), harvest FAQs from CDC into Q&A Maker and train/publish the KB in a couple of minutes, provision an Azure Bot Service (F0/S1 tiers), and push the bot to Web Chat, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. Notes that SDKs exist for C#, Node, Python and Java but Azure hosting supports C# and Node, and that Dataverse for Teams lets Teams users get Power Virtual Agent bots at no extra license cost.
