Using bot framework, you can create your bots with SDKs available in C#, Node.JS, and using REST requests.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50813 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1.jpg 974w, https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1-600x298.jpg 600w, https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1-835x415.jpg 835w, https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1-850x422.jpg 850w, https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/BotFramework-1-750x372.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Bots let users interact with intelligent solutions as though they are conversing with another person.<\/strong> Interactions can take many forms, from text\/SMS to Office365 mail to Skype and Slack.<\/p>\r\n<p>Bots (or conversation agents) are rapidly becoming an integral part of your digital experience. Bots are as vital to the user experience with a service or application as a web site or a mobile app. Developers writing bots all face the same problems: bots require basic I\/O, must have language and dialog skills and must connect to users.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Bot Framework provides tools to solve these problems and more for developers easily. Tools include those such as automatic translation to more than 30 languages, user and conversation state management, debugging tools, an embeddable web chat control, and a way for users to discover, try, and add bots to the conversation experiences they love.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Bot Framework has several components including the Bot Connector, Bot Builder SDK, and the Bot Directory.
