Chat Bot with integration into Teams

Question

I'd like to create a chat bot for internal use that will integrate with Teams. I tried to use CoPilot studio but publication of the bot was blocked. What's the best way to create a simple chat bot and integrate into Teams?

P.S. I am not a developer so coding would be a challenge for me.

Answer 1

I recommend using Power Virtual Agents. It's a powerful tool that allows you to create chat bots with ease and integrate them into Teams.

Answer 2

@Chad Vargo If you dont want to use the then you can use the Azure AI Bot Service.

I understand that you are not a developer and would prefer the Low code - No code approach.

You can simply download the already developed Azure Bot Sample code from the GitHub Samples page and simply follow the below steps:

• Create a bot with the Bot Framework SDK
• Provision and publish a bot to Azure
• Connect a bot to Microsoft Teams

Hope this helps.
