Can you use a personalized AI classification model in a Teams chatbot (developed with Teams Toolikit)?

Question

Hi,

I need help with the development of a Teams chatbot classificator. This is for internal company usage, so I cannot give any specific details.

The thing is, we currently have a Teams Bot for development using the DEV BotFramework tool, which was created using a Power Virtual Agents platform licence (including ONLY the Teams App version, so we cannot use all the services provided by Azure Bot Service).

I would like to know if there is any way we could develop the bot using the JavaScript Teams Toolkit provided in the BotFramework environment (see image) and attach a separately trained classification model (in .pkl format). If so, how could the bot be published or where could it be hosted to be available on Teams at any time (as a chatbot)?

On the other side, if there is no way to follow this steps, could the Azure Bot Service allow us to save our AI model to the Cloud and connect it to a Teams Bot? And I assume this would require an Azure plan for the company, right?

I would appreciate any help,

thank you!
