The document discusses the Microsoft Bot Framework and Microsoft Graph. It provides an overview of what bots are, the capabilities of the Bot Framework for building bots, and how the Microsoft Graph can be used to access user and organizational data when building bots. It also demonstrates how bots can authenticate with the Graph to retrieve and act on user data in conversations.

4. Bot Framework

5. What is a Bot?
An Internet bot, also known as web robot, WWW
robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs
automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet. Typically,
bots perform tasks that are both simple and
structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than
would be possible for a human alone.

6. Why building a Bot?
• Because you want to use bleeding-edge technology
• Because you have a scenario where you want to use natural language
processing
• Because the best UI, is no UI
• Because we live within conversations all day long

7. What is the Bot Framework?
• Build and debug bot business logic
• Manage conversations with dialogs
• Have richer interactions with cards
• Connect to lots of channels
• Emulator for dev and test
C#

12. Why building a Bot using the Microsoft
Graph?
• Understand the user context and act upon it
• Retrieve data from all the different data stores that exist around the
