Together we will build a chatbot.
No prior knowledge about chatbots needed to join this workshop, where we will build a shared shopping list as a chatbot using the Microsoft Bot Framework.
The chatbot uses the LUIS API for natural language processing to find out the user's intent (add an item, mark item as done, remove an item, ...) and entities (5 kg bananas, three apples, 2 litres of orange juice, ...). If any information is missing, the bot is starting a dialogue with the user(s) to retrieve the remaining information needed. Afterwards, the Azure Function for the respective intent is called which operates (add, update, delete) on a Cosmos DB.
