Messengers, network services, and other software cannot go without bots. In software, a bot is an application designed to automate (or execute, according to a preset script) an action created at a user’s request. In this article, Daniil Mikhov, .NET Developer at NIX United, will look at an example of creating a chatbot using Microsoft’s Azure Bot Service. The article will be helpful for anyone who wants to develop bots using the service.

Why Azure Bot Service?

The advantage of developing bots on Azure Bot Services is the high level of Microsoft support for its products. The company’s experts actively communicate with the community and promptly identify and fix bugs in their services. In addition, Microsoft provides the ability to create custom JSON files to work with some messengers’ API, allowing you many possibilities when creating bots.
