Build an Chatbot using Microsoft Azure Technology.

Chatbots are nothing new. In fact, they have been around in some form since the '60s. But those chatbots were nothing like what we have today with machine learning (ML) algorithms, which allow them to learn how to interact with users more effectively over time. Many companies are competing with their own variants to stand out from the pack, like Microsoft with its Azure platform. click this link to check my chatbot https://portal.azure.com/#@abhisheknikam0508gmail.onmicrosoft.com/resource/subscriptions/e534eb46-26cf-43f3-8a66-5c86209b52de/resourceGroups/QnABotCovid123/providers/Microsoft.BotService/botServices/qnabotcovid123-bot/test

Concepts introduced in this sample

The QnA Maker Service enables you to build, train and publish a simple question and answer bot based on FAQ URLs, structured documents or editorial content in minutes. In this sample, we demonstrate -.how to use the Active Learning to generate suggestions for knowledge base. -.how to use the Multiturn experience for the knowledge base .

Prerequisites

- Follow instructions here to create a QnA Maker service.

• Follow instructions here to create multiturn experience.
• Follow instructions here to import and publish your newly created QnA Maker service.
• Update appsettings.json with your kbid (KnowledgeBase Id), endpointKey and endpointHost. QnA knowledge base setup and application configuration steps can be found here.
• (Optional) Follow instructions here to set up the QnA Maker CLI to deploy the model.

Create a QnAMaker Application to enable QnA Knowledge Bases

QnA knowledge base setup and application configuration steps can be found here.

Configure Cognitive Service Model

• Create a Knowledge Base in QnAMaker Portal.
• Import "smartLightFAQ.tsv" file, in QnAMaker Portal.
• Save and Train the model.
• Create Bot from Publish page.
• Test bot with Web Chat.
• Capture values of settings like"QnAAuthKey" from
• "Configuration" page of created bot, in Azure Portal.
• Updated appsettings.json with values as needed.
• Use value of "QnAAuthKey" for setting "QnAEndpointKey".
• Capture KnowledgeBase Id, HostName and EndpointKey current published app

Try Active Learning

• Once your QnA Maker service is up and you have published the sample KB, try the following queries to trigger the Train API on the bot.
• Sample query: "light"
• You can observe that, Multiple answers are returned with high score.

Try Multi-turn prompt

• Once your QnA Maker service is up and you have published the sample KB, try the following queries to trigger the Train API on the bot.
• Sample query: "won't turn on"
• You can notice a prompt, included as part of answer to query.

To try this sample

• Clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/botbuilder-samples.git

• In a terminal, navigate to samples/csharp_dotnetcore/49.qnamaker-all-features

• Run the bot from a terminal or from Visual Studio, choose option A or B.

  A) From a terminal

  # run the bot
  dotnet run

  B) Or from Visual Studio

  • Launch Visual Studio
  • File -> Open -> Project/Solution
  • Navigate to samples/csharp_dotnetcore/49.qnamaker-all-features folder
  • Select QnABot.csproj file
  • Press F5 to run the project

Microsoft Teams channel group chat fix

• Goto Bot/QnABot.cs
• Add References

  using Microsoft.Bot.Connector;
  using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
  

• Modify OnTurnAsync function as:

  public override async Task OnTurnAsync(ITurnContext turnContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
      {
          // Teams group chat
          if (turnContext.Activity.ChannelId.Equals(Channels.Msteams))
          {
              turnContext.Activity.Text = turnContext.Activity.RemoveRecipientMention();
          }
          
          await base.OnTurnAsync(turnContext, cancellationToken);
  
          // Save any state changes that might have occurred during the turn.
          await ConversationState.SaveChangesAsync(turnContext, false, cancellationToken);
          await UserState.SaveChangesAsync(turnContext, false, cancellationToken);
      }
  

Testing the bot using Bot Framework Emulator

Bot Framework Emulator is a desktop application that allows bot developers to test and debug their bots on localhost or running remotely through a tunnel.

• Install the Bot Framework Emulator version 4.3.0 or greater from here

Connect to the bot using Bot Framework Emulator

• Launch Bot Framework Emulator
• File -> Open Bot
• Enter a Bot URL of http://localhost:3978/api/messages

Deploy the bot to Azure

See Deploy your C# bot to Azure for instructions.

The deployment process assumes you have an account on Microsoft Azure and are able to log into the Microsoft Azure Portal.

If you are new to Microsoft Azure, please refer to Getting started with Azure for guidance on how to get started on Azure.
