Major advances in Artificial Intelligence are the ability of computers to understand text and speech, comprehend information, and respond to users. And an area that's becoming more obvious to us is 'intelligent agents' or chatbots, where we can have a fairly normal chat conversation and get information delivered to in a natural way. They talk about the impact on students, when future careers will be changed by chatbots. Dan talks about bots he's built with schools in the past, whilst Ray begs somebody to build a "Why did I come in here?" bot. More seriously, they talk about ways that they are providing support for students, and Ray talks about why he doesn't agree with the Silicon Valley view that we can replace teachers with bots and other forms of AI. Dan mentions Q & A Maker, which is a Microsoft bot service you can find at QnAMaker.ai, and Ray talks about the work with bots being done at UNSW that is supporting students in their learning journey, and there's more on that UNSW case study here
In episode 7 of our SelectedTech podcast/webinar series, we try to add secured SharePoint data as a data source to our knowledge base. It takes some additional steps then described in the Microsoft documentation but we finally get it working.Shownotes of episode 7Add a secured SharePoint data source to your knowledge baseUpdates from SelectedTechWe are happy to announce that there are new options to follow our podcast!

In episode 6 of our SelectedTech podcast/webinar series, Albert-Jan introduces his concept of updating the QnAMaker knowledge base with data from SharePoint. To make this as easy as possible he used Microsoft Flow already a couple of times at customer demonstrate the use case of bots updated that way. Talking about Flow at this particular time means we also spend some minutes on the latest license news for PowerApps and Flow.

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. And as a second, “Announcing Microsoft Graph Postman Collections” again from the Graph Developer Blog written by Jeremy Thake.Please make sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel and check out our webinars on developing bots for Microsoft Teams here.Support the show (https://www.selectedtech.show/)
