Jan 17 Webinar: Integrating Bot Framework Skills with Power Virtual Agents
We are excited to announce that the modular and reusable conversation Bot Framework skills can be integrated with Power Virtual Agents. January 17th 12:00pm PST Senior Program’s Pawan Taparia and Managers 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 SDK version 4.7 launch.
If you are not familiar with Bot Framework Skills, they are re-usable conversational skill building-blocks covering conversational use-cases enabling you to add extensive functionality to a Bot within minutes. Skills include language understanding (LUIS) models, dialogs and integration code and 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.
