Bot Framework v4 core bot sample.
This bot has been created using Bot Framework, it shows how to:
- Use LUIS to implement core AI capabilities
- Implement a multi-turn conversation using Dialogs
- Handle user interruptions for such things as
Help
orCancel
- Prompt for and validate requests for information from the user
This sample is a Spring Boot app and uses the Azure CLI and azure-webapp Maven plugin to deploy to Azure.
This bot uses LUIS, an AI based cognitive service, to implement language understanding.
The LUIS model for this example can be found under cognitiveModels/FlightBooking.json
and the LUIS language model setup, training, and application configuration steps can be found here.
Once you created the LUIS model, update application.properties
with your LuisAppId
, LuisAPIKey
and LuisAPIHostName
.
LuisAppId="Your LUIS App Id"
LuisAPIKey="Your LUIS Subscription key here"
LuisAPIHostName="Your LUIS App region here (i.e: westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com)"
