I’m looking to create a pretty complex conversational AI.
I’ll be working on it from the end of this month until start of September. Its going to be a chatbot about depression/anxiety, so i wont be looking to create a simple bot.
My main question is how would I set everything up? I know I can test the conversational AI in the Bot framework Emulator, but what project should I use?
Echo Bot (Bot framework v4 - .Netcore 3.1)?
Core bot (bot framework v4 = Netcore 3.1)?
I’ve been doing some research and I’ve seen some people use machine learning, integrating ML.net to the Echo Bot (Bot framework v4 - .Netcore 3.1)?
I really need some clarification, so I'd appreciate any feedback!
I would be working on a similar project but will require working with Intent-based Intelligence routing. Can I get any help here to further understand what i need to do

@Aaron soggi Thanks for the question. Please follow the deeper overview of version 1.0 and get started with Virtual Assistant at http://aka.ms/VirtualAssistant.

Thank you :)
@Ramr-msft Thank you for your comment, I almost have everything up ands running except for the AzureCosmoDb account, which is only free for 30 days. This wouldn't work for me as ill be developing this project for about 4 months. Is there an alternative option i could go for?
