Jan 17 Webinar: Integrating Bot Framework Skills with Power Virtual Agents
One of the most powerful techniques to extend bots created with Power Virtual Agents is integration with the modular and re-usable conversation Bot Framework Skills. January 17th, 12:00 PM PST, Senior Program Managers, Pawan Taparia and Murali Kumanduri from the Power Virtual Agents team will be hosting a live webinar to walk through what Bot Framework Skills are, how to integrate Bot Framework Skills with Power Virtual Agents and what was just updated with the SDK version 4.7 launch.
If you are not familiar with Bot Framework Skills, they are re-usable conversational skill building-blocks enabling you to add extensive functionality to a bot. Skills include language understanding (LUIS) models, dialogs, and integration code and are delivered as source code enabling you to customize and extend as required. They can be a complex Virtual Assistant or perhaps an Enterprise Bot seeking to stitch together multiple bots within an organization.
