Semantic Kernel with Azure Bot C#

Question

Hi Team,

Could you please advise how can we utilize the Semantic Kernel in the existing Azure Bot (based on C#)?

Regards,

Mohit

Answer 1

@Madan, Mohit To extend your existing bot, you could integrate Semantic Kernel as a skill.

In your skill bot, you would take the input query received via the OnMessageActivityAsync handler and pass that to a planner object instantiated using Semantic Kernel.

At this point, you would either share the plan with the user for confirmation if required or invoke the plan directly to share the result back as a response.

The kernel in Semantic Kernel itself would be instantiated when the skill bot starts up like any other dependent service.
