Shows building a working chatbot end-to-end using Power Virtual Agents that scrapes an FAQ page to auto-suggest topics, captures an e-mail and dietary restriction, and writes rows into Dataverse via a Power Automate flow. Demonstrates lazy variable evaluation, automatic trigger improvements from real conversations, deployment into Teams and web via iframe, and built-in analytics (engagement, resolution, escalation, CSAT). Also previews a unified canvas with editable code using Power Fx and confirms the demo actually stores data and appears in Teams.
