The SelectedTech Webinar 004 is about how to use Postman to talk to the QnA maker API. Postman streamlines the development process and captures a single source of truth about your APIs while also simplifying collaboration across your teams and organisations.

QnA Maker is a cloud-based API service that creates a conversational, question and answer layer over your data. QnA Maker enables you to create a knowledge-base(KB) from your semi-structured content such as Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) URLs, product manuals, support documents and custom questions and answers. The QnA Maker service answers your users’ natural language questions by matching it with the best possible answer from the QnAs in your Knowledge base.

In this episode we take the QnA bot from webinar 001 and download the code to a local machine. After showing how to run the bot in a local IIS we use ngrok for tunneling access for a Teams deployment. After making a minor code change we republish the bot and make sure everything is still working. The episode ends with Rick asking Stephan about using Azure DevOps for CI/CD which will be our topic for Webinar 003.

SelectedTech Webinar 1 - A No Code QnA Bot In Microsoft Teams

Mon, 20 May 2019 19:43:30 +0000

Welcome to our first SelectedTech Webinar. We are four MVPs from Europe and we decided to start our own webinar series. What we want to show is how we do stuff. We meet online and hit the record button. There is not a lot of time for preparation or planning for our webinars. As a result, you will see mistakes and errors, not high polished content. We strongly believe that showing how to overcome those hiccups adds additional value to the content.
