Why take this course?

This course will not only teach you the basics about bots, it will also show you how to make your own bot using NO CODE on the Microsoft Bot Framework.

Bots are becoming more ubiquitous to our daily internet lives. There is hardly a place you can go online without interacting with a bot, whether you knew it or not. And there are different types of bots who do various kinds of things. From indexing web pages to finding information even to book airplane flights.

To this point, bots were usually created by programmers. And the cost to make them was high. The everyday person could not use them for their purposes. With this course, you will learn about the different types of bots, why they exist, along with what they do. All in a very easy to understand (no techspeak, I promise) format with lectures, demonstrations, and step-by-step instructions.

We will use the Microsoft Bot Framework to build our very own bot. And we will connect the bot to the outside world through SMS text messaging. So, you will be able to share your bot with other people! This course will also give you some ideas and examples of other types of bots that you may wish to create afterward.

If you are looking to learn about bots, build a bot or see examples of bots working on the internet, then this course is for you.

It was ok. It would be a little better without some of the blurred out input blocks. The instruction would be much clearer to visual learners if better supported by a clear picture of what is being discussed.

This course was very basic, in the course just QnA maker was explained and a very basic about bot framework. There is a lot more in Microsoft bot framework. There is no detail about how we can write a bot using bot framework using dialog, forms and prompt etc.

This is a great course! It really opened my eyes to the possibilities that bots can perform. As an entrepreneur, I can see how this will allow me to free up a lot of time to do other things.

Spending a lot of time to well known issues like to enter the file and open it with excel. Also a lot of talk, half of the seminar has passed without any practical info aboiut developing bot

The course appears to be set-up in a manor that is not overwhelming to the none-technical user. It also seems to set the premise that learning how to design a bot can be useful to most with not too many impossible challenges to overcome.

Well thought out information at the right level of detail for a beginner. Lessons so far have helped to consolidate my own knowledge on bots.
