Building Bots with Microsoft Bot Framework

Overview of this book

Bots help users to use the language as a UI and interact with the applications from any platform. This book teaches you how to develop real-world bots using Microsoft Bot Framework. The book starts with setting up the Microsoft Bot Framework development environment and emulator, and moves on to building the first bot using Connector and Builder SDK. Explore how to register, connect, test, and publish your bot to the Slack, Skype, and Facebook Messenger platforms. Throughout this book, you will build different types of bots from simple to complex, such as a weather bot, a natural speech and intent processing bot, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) bot for a bank, a facial expression recognition bot, and more from scratch. These bots were designed and developed to teach you concepts such as text detection, implementing LUIS dialogs, Cortana Intelligence Services, third-party authentication, Rich Text format, Bot State Service, and microServices so you can practice working with the standard development tools such as Visual Studio, Bot Emulator, and Azure.

Training your app

Now you have to train your app using utterances to get the appropriate results from LUIS.

Some examples of utterances include the following:

  • I am John living in Ashburn, Virginia and working at Microsoft
  • Jim lives in Princeton, New Jersey and works at Google

Go through the training process as we explained in previous sections:

Before clicking on Submit, make sure that the sentence is identified correctly and shows the Intent as NaturalProcessing(my intent name). If the name did not get highlighted, then manually click on the name. It will open a popup; select Name as the Entity. For example, here in my case, john was not highlighted by default, so I selected it manually and clicked on the Name Intent. The same applies for the company as well:

Now publish your LUIS. Click on the Publish option on the left-hand side menu:

Now click on the Publish web service/Update published application:
