The Microsoft Bot Framework is used for building intelligent chat bots and deploying them to multiple messaging platforms or channels at once. This includes utilizing various Bot Builder SDK features, creating bots of various types and using the Bot Directory or the Azure Bot Service.

Overview

The Microsoft Bot Framework provides just what you need to build and connect intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking, from text/sms to Skype, Slack, MS Teams, Kik, Office 365 mail and other popular services.

The Bot Framework has a number of components including the Bot Connector, Bot Builder SDK, and the Bot Directory.

Bot Builder v4 SDK builds on the feedback and learnings from the prior Bot Builder SDKs.
