I have installed Rasa Core and NLU in my computer and after training
and build the models now my chatbot is ready but I'm not getting clear
documentation or way to deploy or integrate with a website.
I have 'Rasa' named folder and 'venv' virtual environment. I tried to
put it into a website but they are blocking the files. So what is the
method to put the Rasa chatbot into the website for 24/7 live chat?
For connecting your chatbot to a website, try using https://github.com/botfront/rasa-webchat i.e. "A chat widget to deploy virtual assistants made with Rasa or Botfront on any website." You'll need to add something like
socketio:
user_message_evt: user_uttered
bot_message_evt: bot_uttered
session_persistence: true/false
to your credentials.yml. See https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/user-guide/connectors/your-own-website/ for further details on connecting to your own website.
In terms of deployment, the recommended way to deploy a rasa chatbot is using Rasa X using either docker-compose or kubernetes/openshift. The easiest way would be to use the one line deploy script.
https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/connectors/your-own-website/#id2
after training your bot run the command
rasa run --enable-api --cors "*"
Add the REST channel to your credentials.yml:
rest:
# you don't need to provide anything here - this channel doesn't
# require any credentials

Is better to publish to PVA through Bot Framework Composer or Publish to Azure and then import the skill into PVA? Is there a difference in the architecture\reusability? Can anyone point me at documentation that lists pros\cons? We are at the stage where we know we want to use skills from Bot in PVA, but would like to figure the best way forward for getting those skills into PVA. Thanks!
I think it depends on the features that you are using.
PVA is more limited in terms of features - see difference here . So if you need some of these features, host your skill in Azure. In the other case, it can be done from PVA using the Composer.
Im working with bots from the Microsoft Bot Framework (SDK4).
My Bot is connected with LUIS and two KnowledgeBases.
The CI/CD process is realized with Azure Pipelines.
Im wondering if it is possible to backup a knowledge Base with the Release Pipeline within Azure Pipelines.
You can try to write a script in azure pipeline to download the knowledge base from QnA Maker programmatically.
The download process is programmatically available using the following REST API:
GET {Endpoint}/qnamaker/v4.0/knowledgebases/{kbId}/{environment}/qna
You can refer to this document for details.
We want to build SAAS platform based on ms botbuilder. Specifically now we want to have many telegram bots on one backend (web app), instrumentation such as creation Bot Registrations, if needed, should be automated (prob except of creating a bot in telegramm).
I can't find any docs on how to address that but i guess theres 3 options:
1) Use directline api and create own adapter to speak with telegram api.
2) Use Azure script to create Bot registration. But i can't find a place where in web app configure app id and secret, these now are written in env vars on azure.
3) somehow deploy varios middlewares or enviroments (or slots) for each such registration. Lacking info on this aproach too much.
Maybe also some other options i'm not aware of?
The bot we have created uses DialogFlow as NLU Engine and uses MS BotFramework core as a dialog manager that creates dialogs as steps.
The preview version of Bot Composer looks powerful and intuitive way to create the Dialogs and manage them. But none of the documentation or Ignite Videos give a clear view whether it can be used for other NLU's(for obvious reasons, they wanted to promote LUIS).
So, curious to know if some integrated the composed with other NLU's apart from LUIS. If so, what are the caveats.
Though LUIS provides a builtin way of managing intents in Bot Framework Composer, you can still access external API's like any NLU endpoints you want to use by incorporating an HTTP step into your dialog.
I need to know what is msbot clone services for in a Bot Enterprise Template? what is the main goal of this command, if I configurate a LUIS application in Azure, I need this command to use my LUIS in my local bot? Is there a way to configurate LUIS manually in Bot Enterprise Template?
FYI: Enterprise Bot is being replaced by Virtual Assistant, which doesn't use msbot.
msbot is used for a variety of different purposes, but I'm assuming you're referring to the msbot clone command. Basically, it's just a command that makes all of the necessary services/resources in Azure and then updates your .bot/appsettings.json/.env file, depending on which is applicable to your environment.
You can use your own LUIS, but Enterprise Bot creates a lot of LUIS apps for you that are used in the bot. To use your own, you'd just need to add your LUIS config in your .bot/appsettings.json/.env file and then ensure that it's called in the appropriate places in your code. Personally, if I were to do this, I'd just run the msbot command and then replace whatever it generates with my own LUIS config.
