QnA Maker allows us to use existing frequently asked questions (FAQ) to create a bot that answers these questions. We can generate a knowledge base from existing FAQs, and train a model from it.

If no services have been created, we can create one by clicking on the Create new service tab. This will present us with the following screen:
- Enter a name for the service.
- Enter the baseline FAQs to use. This can either be in the form of one or more URLs, or a file containing questions and answer pairs. For our example, we will be generating a knowledge base from the URL.
- Let the rest of the settings be default.
