Build Text-Based & Talking Chatbots using the Microsoft Power Platform
New updates have come to Power Virtual Agents, our low-code bot creation service that’s part of the Microsoft Power Platform. We’ll show you how this single environment enables fusion teams of citizen and pro developers to author bots that are more engaging with dynamic custom greetings, in addition to quick replies, and more sophisticated and visual through adaptive cards.
Gary Pretty, from the Power Platform Team, joins Jeremy Chapman to walk you through all of this along with the deep Power FX integration to dynamically adapt bot responses using variables, as well as new native telephony integration that gives your bot a voice.
