I was browsing the Microsoft Developer Network and previewed the Microsoft Bot Framework .
I have two questions:
What is Microsoft Bot Framework and what is it for?
Actually the name is already very intuitive but I think it would be nice to have information and details in Portuguese about this Framework .
The name says it all: a robot.
A robot performs some actions automatically, such as reading and interpreting user messages, monitoring chat rooms, sending scheduled messages, and so on. Here is the documentation .
Robots are written in C #. There is a special kind of project in Visual Studio for Bots. They can be integrated with Skype, Slack, SMS, E-Mail, Telegram ...
On the date of this response, it is a preview . In the future, I believe this technology can be very mature and have more functionality. I'll be editing this response if this occurs.
It's a framework (that is, it offers abstractions under which you program) to create chatbots (they are software that works inside messaging apps; see here ).
Microsoft provides C # and Javascript SDKs, and allows you to connect your chatbot (a single implementation) to various messaging apps such as Skype, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Web, SMS, Email, etc.
In the national market, with documentation in Portuguese and similar functionalities, you can try Blip .
