Bot Framework Basicsīefore we continue, let me explain basics of how a bot works. Note: While writing this article, Microsoft Bot Framework is in Preview. Bots are reviewed before being listed and publicly available on Bot Directory.Įxcellent overview of individual pieces are available at their official documentation. Bot Directory: Bot Directory is a public directory for published bots.It also has other features such as state management, storage service, message routing etc. Bot Connector: Bot connector acts as an adapter between our bot and numerous channels that it supports.Bot Builder SDK: Bot Builder SDK is open source and provides us with features to model our conversation, state management, rich attachments etc.Microsoft Bot Framework consists of 3 parts. Documentation is pretty neat and it makes no sense to explain the detail here also, why to reinvent the wheel? However this is a new learning for me too, so if you find a better way than mine to do the same thing then comment below. Also I would link a lot to the official documentation wherever a deeper understanding is required. On the way, I’ll explain some of the features of Bot SDK, and use it add more capabilities to the bot. Instead of explaining each and every feature of Bot Framework with code snippets, which would lead to a boring post, we will embark into a journey of building a silly bot to a bot that does something useful. In this and next few articles that will follow, I’ll talk about Microsoft Bot Framework and build a bot from scratch. So finally we had an open source and free platform to create our own bots. Microsoft, in Build 2016, showcased their own bot framework and released it on Github. There is a lot of buzz in market regarding Chatbots.
