This 1-day instructor-led course teaches how to build conversational message bots with Microsoft and Google. We use a range of bot technology components, including Bot Service, Intents, Agents, Responses, Dialogues and Web Services. Azure Bot Service and Google Cloud provide integrated bot development and hosting environments for conversational bots that can reach customers across multiple channels. Bots provide a conversational interface that accepts input in different modalities including text, speech, cards, or images. The Azure Bot Service offers fourteen channels to interact with users including Cortana, Facebook Messenger and Skype. The bot can help the user complete some tasks, answer questions, or even chit chat through action handlers. This course offers an overview of these services, providing the knowledge necessary to design bot solutions properly. It also includes several demonstrations and labs that enable students to develop hands-on skills that are necessary when implementing conversational message bot solutions.
