Chatbots have become a popular way for businesses to interact with their customers and offer support services. With the advancement of AI and natural language processing (NLP) technology, the ability to create intelligent chatbots has become much easier. Microsoft Azure QnA Maker is one such tool that allows users to create chatbots that can answer frequently asked questions.<\/p>\n
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of creating a chatbot using Azure QnA Maker. We will cover the following steps:
\n– Setting up Azure QnA Maker
\n– Creating a knowledge base
\n– Testing and refining your chatbot
\n– Deploying your chatbot to a website or messaging platform<\/p>\n
To get started with Azure QnA Maker, you will need an Azure account. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for a free trial or a paid subscription. Once you have an account, you can access the Azure portal.<\/p>\n
Once your resource is created, you can access the QnA Maker portal by clicking on the resource from your Azure dashboard.<\/p>\n
The next step in creating your chatbot is to create a knowledge base. A knowledge base is where you store the questions and answers that your chatbot will be able to respond to.<\/p>\n
Once you have added all your questions and answers to your knowledge base, you can train your chatbot. Training helps the chatbot understand the intent behind the questions and answers, which will improve its accuracy in responding to user queries.<\/p>\n
After you have trained your chatbot, it’s time to test it out. In the QnA Maker portal, you can test your chatbot using the “Test” tab. Here, you can enter a question and see how your chatbot responds. You can also view the chat history to see how well your chatbot is performing.<\/p>\n
If you find that your chatbot is not performing as well as you’d like, you can refine it by adding more questions and answers, adjusting the confidence threshold, or adding custom prompts. Custom prompts allow you to provide more detailed responses for specific queries. To create a custom prompt, click on the “Add a custom prompt” button on the QnA Maker editor.<\/p>\n
Once you are satisfied with your chatbot’s performance, you can deploy it to a website or messaging platform. To deploy your chatbot, you will need to create a Bot Service in Azure. A Bot Service is a platform for creating and hosting bots.<\/p>\n
Once your Bot Service is created, you can configure it to use your QnA Maker knowledge base. To do this:
\n1. In the Azure portal, navigate to the Bot Service you just created.
\n2. Go to the “Settings” tab and then click on “Application settings”.
\n3. Scroll down until you see the “QnAKnowledgebaseId” and “QnASubscriptionKey” settings.
\n4. Copy and paste the values for these settings from your QnA Maker resource into your Bot Service.<\/p>\n
After you have configured your Bot Service, you can test your chatbot by clicking on the “Test in Web Chat” button on the Bot Service dashboard. You can also host your chatbot on other messaging services by following the instructions in the Bot Service documentation.<\/p>\n
In this tutorial, we have walked you through the process of creating a chatbot using Azure QnA Maker. You have learned how to set up Azure QnA Maker, create a knowledge base, test and refine your chatbot, and deploy it to a website or messaging platform. With the help of Azure QnA Maker, you can create intelligent chatbots that can handle frequently asked questions and provide support to your customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
