Tutorial: Create a FAQ bot

  • Artikkel

Create a FAQ Bot with custom question answering and Azure Bot Service with no code.

In this tutorial, you learn how to:

  • Link a custom question answering project to an Azure AI Bot Service
  • Deploy a Bot
  • Chat with the Bot in web chat
  • Enable the Bot in supported channels

Create and publish a project

Follow the getting started article. Once the project has been successfully deployed, you will be ready to start this article.

Create a bot

After deploying your project, you can create a bot from the Deploy project page:

  • You can create several bots quickly, all pointing to the same project for different regions or pricing plans for the individual bots.

  • When you make changes to the project and redeploy, you don't need to take further action with the bot. It's already configured to work with the project, and works with all future changes to the project. Every time you publish a project, all the bots connected to it are automatically updated.

  1. In Language Studio, on the custom question answering Deploy project page, select the Create a bot button.
