Virtual Interactions that are Natural & Engaging
Chatbots are tiny programs that help simulate interactions with customers automatically based on a set of predefined conditions, triggers or events. Conversational bots allow users to interact with their web service through text, interactive cards, and task modules.

Production Ready Apps for Teams
App Templates
App templates are production-ready apps for Teams that are community driven, open-source, and available on GitHub. Each app template contains detailed instructions for deploying and installing apps for customers, providing a ready-to-use app that they can install and begin using immediately. The complete source code is available as well, so they can explore it in detail, or fork the code and alter it to meet a customer’s specific needs.
There are several key benefits of using app templates:
• Plug and play experience: All app templates include deployments scripts that will allow them to host all necessary services in Microsoft Azure.
No coding is required to deploy the apps.
• Production-ready code: The app templates conform to recommended best practices around security and infrastructure, and all community
submitted changes to them are reviewed to ensure continued conformance.
• Customizable and extensible: While all app templates are ready to deploy as they are, Microsoft provides the entire code base and deployment
scripts so that they can easily customize or extend them to fit a customer’s unique needs.
• Detailed documentation & support: All app templates are accompanied by end-to-end documentation on solution architecture, deployment, and
configuration steps.
