Is question answering the same from user point?

Question

Hi, I am struggling now. Is question answering the same as QnA maker? Our team will stop the project around 2024, I don’t want to learn a lot new if question answering a total new thing. I need to make a decision, quick migration or keep it now, any suggestion?

Hello @Yukimaru123

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A platform. I can understand you don't want to change a lot. If you are good with the current product exprience and there is no other product connected to QnA maker, you can stay with QnA maker. But in case some related product turn to support Question Answering with new updates releasing, there may be some issues. This is one of the forseen risk for me.

The process to migrate to Question Answering is not difficult - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/language-service/question-answering/how-to/migrate-qnamaker

I will high recommend you to read te guidance first to check if the migration is a big project for you. From personal feeling, I think the Questions Answering migration is not that complicated and worth to have a try.

I hope this helps.
