how to build a basic chatbot

 Introduction        

     Power Virtual Agents are adaptable Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots, at your service. They can solve common customer and internal-facing issues automatically, freeing up staff to focus on complex requests and high-value interactions. You can easily create your own virtual agents, powerful chatbots, without the need for developers or data scientists, by using a guided, no-code graphical interface. Integrate Power Virtual Agents with the products and services you use every day using hundreds of prebuilt connectors, by building custom workflows using Power Automate, or creating complex scenarios with Microsoft Bot Framework.

            Power Virtual Agents empowers teams to easily create powerful chatbots using a guided, no-code graphical interface without the need for data scientists or developers. Power Virtual Agents addresses many of the major issues with bot building in the industry today. It eliminates the gap between the subject matter experts and the development teams building the bots, and the long latency between teams recognizing an issue and updating the bot to address it. It removes the complexity of exposing teams to the nuances of conversational AI and the need to write complex code. Also, it minimizes the IT effort required to deploy and maintain a custom conversational solution.


A chatbot is an automated online communication tool through which the user can receive an immediate response, instead of waiting or searching through the website.

Through machine learning and training, the chatbot is continually improved. It makes your business more accessible to customers, employees, members or users, 24 hours a day. Integrations also allow the chatbot to help create sales leads and streamline processes.


Create a chatbot


If you do not have a Power Virtual Agents set up already, go to https://aka.ms/TryPVA in your browser to begin. Supported browsers include Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. On the website, select Start Free, and then sign in with your work email address. Note that personal Microsoft accounts are not currently supported.


1.Next, you’ll choose a name for your chatbot. This can be something generic to your company or specific to the scenario you are tailoring your chatbot to.

Your chatbot is created in the default Power Apps environment that was created for you when you signed up. For most users, this is sufficient. However, if you want to specify a custom Power Apps environment for your Power Virtual Agents, you can do so by expanding the More options menu and selecting a different environment.



2.Once you select Create, the process of creating the first chatbot within a new environment can take up to 15 minutes. Subsequent bots will be created much faster.


3.After a few minutes, you’ll land on the home page and have an opportunity to play around with the chatbot in read-only mode. You can't save any edits during this time, but you can explore the overall user interface, look at the topics, experiment with the preloaded User Topics and System Topics, and interact with your chatbot using the Test Canvas.


4.When the chatbot creation process completes, the banner changes. You now have full functionality in the chatbot and can modify any User or System topic, test out your content changes, or deploy your bot.
