Microsoft Bot SDK

I have tried Microsoft Bot SDK from https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder . It is wonderful. It is rather simple and comes with examples ( the echo one is the most simple to understand) . It has integrations with Slack, Skype, WebChat and others ( see https://dev.botframework.com/ )

In order to test it, the simplest way is to download Bot Framework Emulator from http://download.botframework.com/botconnector/tools/emulator/publish.htm 

For my testing , I have made a bot that sends you exchange rates from BNR(National Bank of Romania)  or BCE( Central European Bank)

The code was fairy simple . I have read the examples from https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder and my own.

If you want to see in practice , you can try it at

  1. email : ignatandrei@ignatandrei.onmicrosoft.com
  2. slack
  3. skype
  4. chat

The techonlogy ourdays is amazing – and Facebook is developing the API for his own bot (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/quickstart ) Will we be surrounded by bots?
