CorePlus Bot Template

A Microsoft Bot Framework v4 template (Node.js and TypeScript) that will let you quickly set up a Transactional, Question and Answer, and Conversational AI chatbot. This is an extension of a previous version of the Microsoft Core Bot template (Node.js) suported by the Yeoman generator generator-botbuilder.

This chatbot has been created using Bot Framework.

The CorePlus Bot Template shows how to:

• Display a Welcome Card, using Adaptive Card technology
• Use LUIS to model Greetings, Help, Joke, Profanity and Cancel interactions
• Use QnA Maker to model free form interactions, including chit-chat and Question Answer
• Use a Waterfall dialog to model multi-turn conversation flow
• Use custom prompts to validate user input
• Store conversation and user state
• Handle conversation interruptions
• Allow Cancelation and Confirmation of an ongoing dialog
• Use Yes/No synonyms for Yes/No answerable questions
• Use a Restart command to restart the conversation from scratch
• Send Typing indicator messages when you consider appropriate
• Implement internationalization and multilingual conversation
• Use a Web Chat as a Minimizable Web Chat Component with no React
