Podcasts about bot framework

In episode 229 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk again about AI and SAP.The last few months have seen an amazing evolution in AI. What started as a simple Bot Framework, evolved to GPT driven Chatbots, to Copilot to users interacting with agents. The latest step -- like what we are doing together with SAP on the Joule and Copilot integration -- is multi-agent integration. Chan Jin Park, CJ, was on our show twice to talk about his scenarios and demos leveraging Azure OpenAI, Teams and Copilot integrations. I am glad to have him back to show us his latest developments.

Building Policy Update: As of June 1, 2022, masks remain required at Town Hall Seattle. Read our current COVID-19 policies and in-building safety protocols. Thu 7/14, 2022, 7:30pm Blaise Agüera y Arcas and Melanie Mitchell with Lili Cheng How Close Are We to AI? BUY THE BOOKS   Ubi SuntBy Blaise Agüera y Arcas   Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking HumansBy Melanie Mitchell     Artificial Intelligence (AI), a term first coined at a Dartmouth workshop in 1956, has seen several boom and bust cycles over the last 66 years. Is the current boom different? The most exciting advance in the field since 2017 has been the development of “Large Language Models,” giant neural networks trained on massive databases of text on the web. Still highly experimental, Large Language Models haven't yet been deployed at scale in any consumer product — smart/voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, Cortana, or the Google Assistant are still based on earlier, more scripted approaches. Large Language Models do far better at routine tasks involving language processing than their predecessors. Although not always reliable, they can give a strong impression of really understanding us and holding up their end of an open-ended dialog. Unlike previous forms of AI, which could only perform specific jobs involving rote perception, classification, or judgment, Large Language Models seem to be capable of a lot more — including possibly passing the Turing Test, named after computing pioneer Alan Turing's thought experiment that posits when an AI in a chat can't be distinguished reliably from a human, it will have achieved general intelligence. But can Large Language Models really understand anything, or are they just mimicking the superficial “form” of language? What can we say about our progress toward creating real intelligence in a machine? What do “intelligence” and “understanding” even mean? Blaise Agüera y Arcas, a Fellow at Google Research, and Melanie Mitchell, the Davis Professor of Complexity at the Santa Fe Institute, take on these thorny questions in a wide-ranging presentation and discussion. The discussion will be moderated by Lili Cheng, Corporate Vice President of the Microsoft AI and Research division. Blaise Agüera y Arcas is a VP and Fellow at Google Research, where he leads an organization working on basic research and new products in Artificial Intelligence. His team focuses on the intersection of machine learning and devices, developing AI that augments humanity while preserving privacy. One of the team's technical contributions is Federated Learning, an approach to training neural networks in a distributed setting that avoids sending user data off-device. Blaise also founded Google's Artists and Machine Intelligence program and has been an active participant in cross-disciplinary dialogs about AI and ethics, fairness and bias, policy, and risk. He has given TED talks on Sead­ragon and Pho­to­synth (2007, 2012), Bing Maps (2010), and machine creativity (2016). In 2008, he was awarded MIT's TR35 prize. Melanie Mitchell is the Davis Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. Her current research focuses on conceptual abstraction, analogy-making, and visual recognition in artificial intelligence systems.  Melanie is the author or editor of six books and numerous scholarly papers in the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and complex systems. Her book Complexity: A Guided Tour won the 2010 Phi Beta Kappa Science Book Award and was named by Amazon.com as one of the ten best science books of 2009. Her latest book is Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans. Lili Cheng is a Corporate Vice President of the Microsoft AI and Research division, responsible for the AI developer platform which includes Cognitive Services and Bot Framework. Prior to Microsoft, Lili worked in Apple Computer's Advanced Technology Group on the user interface research team where she focused on QuickTime Conferencing and QuickTime VR. Lili is also a registered architect, having worked in Tokyo and Los Angeles for Nihon Sekkei and Skidmore Owings and Merrill on commercial urban design and large-scale building projects. She has also taught at New York University and Harvard University.

The European Collaboration Summit and European Cloud Summit 2021 happened November 29th - December 1st 2021 in Düsseldorf, Germany. There were speakers and attendees from all over the world, talking about collaboration, Microsoft 365, as well as cloud technology such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. I was there as a speaker talking about building bots on Microsoft 365 using Bot Framework, Bot Framework Composer and Power Virtual Agents. There were also sessions on Microsoft Teams, Azure and so much more! I produced a video covering my time at the Summit, but it didn't make a lot of sense to post the audio of that video as a podcast episode, so instead, I've recorded my thoughts on the Summit as a separate, audio-only version.

The SelectedTech Podcast 004 is about how to use Postman to talk to the QnA maker API. Postman streamlines the development process and captures a single source of truth about your APIs while also simplifying collaboration across your teams and organisations.QnA Maker is a cloud-based API service that creates a conversational, question and answer layer over your data. QnA Maker enables you to create a knowledge-base(KB) from your semi-structured content such as Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) URLs, product manuals, support documents and custom questions and answers. The QnA Maker service answers your users’ natural language questions by matching it with the best possible answer from the QnAs in your Knowledge base.QnA Maker offers a REST API that allows you to automate operations with your Knowledge base. In order to use this API in Postman, Stephan created a collection you can import in your own tooling. Check out his blog post to get all the details and links.If you already work with Postman here two additional resources from the Microsoft Graph Developer Blog. First, Day 13 from the 30 DaysMSGraph series, “Postman to make Microsoft Graph calls”. This blog post explains how to configure your environment to connect to Microsoft Graph with one click.

Welcome to our first SelectedTech Podcast. We are four MVPs from Europe and we decided to start our own webinar series. What we want to show is how we do stuff. We meet online and hit the record button. There is not a lot of time for preparation or planning for our webinars. As a result, you will see mistakes and errors, not high polished content. We strongly believe that showing how to overcome those hiccups adds additional value to the content.In our first episode, we create a QnA knowledge base in Azure. We show how to create the resources needed in the Azure portal and how to add pairs of questions and answers to your knowledge base. After that, we use the bot template in Azure to start our conversational endpoint. By using the QnA config we connect the knowledge base with the bot and deploy our newly created application to Microsoft Teams.Here our playlist.

Do you know that you can book your flights via Skype? SkyScanner has a bot for Skype, where you can book your next holiday via chat. You may even use the Advertiser Bot through Facebook to get your daily news digest. Bots are even making enterprises be efficient and productive by letting you focus on what you do best and let the Bot do the grunt work. Bots are not new, but they are becoming more powerful, pervasive and acceptable in today’s society as a way to get answers, access information, buy goods and request for services. Not only chatting or texting, you could also be talking to a Bot via connectors like Cortana too. Sam Fernando will step us through the basics of the Microsoft Bot Framework, developing bots, hosting in Azure and connecting with channels like Facebook, Skype and Cortana.
