Building with the bot framework & language understanding (LUIS)

Bots (or conversation agents) are rapidly becoming an integral part of your users digital experience – they are as vital a way for users to interact with a service or application as is a web site or a mobile experience. Developers writing bots all face the same problems: bots require basic I/O; they must have language and dialog skills; and they must connect to users – preferably in any conversation experience and language the user chooses. 

In this session, you will learn how to build and connect intelligent bots to interact with your users naturally wherever they are, from text/sms to Skype, Slack, Office 365 mail and other popular services. We will explore the Microsoft Bot Framework, which provides just what you need to build and connect intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking. 

Through live demos, we'll cover the Bot Connector in the cloud, the Bot Build SDK with C# (Node.js is also supported) and well also explore how to handle natural language input from the user with the Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS) from Microsoft Cognitive Services. Every business needs bots to provide a more personal experience to its users and customers. Come learn how you can build bots for your customers in just a few hours.
