Lab description

Bots have a huge range of uses, including being used as virtual assistants, customer service reps, web app or microservice front ends,  and much more. Bots communicate naturally with customers and internal teams alike to provide intelligent, targeted solutions for nearly every business type.

Teams use Azure bots in part because of the tight integration they offer with most other Azure services. One common example is combining bots with AI services, to combine intelligent bots capable of understanding and responding intelligently to end-user comments. In this lab, you'll create an Azure bot, integrate it with the Azure Cognitive Services API to allow it to guess the sentiment of end-users, and publish that bot to Azure Bot Service.
