How to build an intelligent chatbot
On March 27 Sergii Baidachnyi, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft, will come to Kyiv from Canada to hold a Workshop “How to build an intelligent chatbot”.Throughout the workshop, you will learn how to create a Help Desk bot. The labs are available in both C# and Node.js. When completing the lecture part, you will be able to build a bot, performing sequential tasks, or create your own project with the advice of an instructor. The goal of the workshop is to provide consistent instructions for developers who are looking for structured experience in creating chatbots.
The labs are designed to build on one another, so you will be creating the entire bot from scratch. However, if you wish to choose just a couple of the labs, you can use the starting code indicated in each lab.
Each lab contains a set of additional challenges, which allow you to both enhance your bot and grow your skills. These are considered part of the lab, and we strongly encourage you to try at least one for each lab.
