For a customer centric organisation looking for a future proof approach towards customer service this could be very much be well suited if you have the capital and/or patience. Providing intuitive AI that can provide huge value to enterprise organisations, but perhaps less so to smaller ones that could deal with the customer experience on a more human / personal level

Azure AI Bot service works well if you need to support multiple channels like MS Teams, Slack, Facebook Messenger, etc., using the same code base. It also provides built-in connectors to LUIS and Azure OpenAI for natural language understanding and intelligence. Scenarios such as a low-cost chatbot without the need for LUIS or AI are the ones where Azure AI bot service might not be most appropriate.

  • They have simplified the coding for the bot in Azure, but it would help if the coding was further simplified so that non-IT can operate [and] create it easily.

Azure Bot Service provides an integrated environment for bot development. Microsoft Azure Cloud is fully compatible and its security features. It's more important to pay attention to the logic of business than the specifics of each messenger. We don't have any issues using the bot framework because the implementation is excellent.

They provide instructional meetings, manuals, and backing staff, in addition to other things. Bugs were handily spotted and fixed, which is one of my annoyances about issues.

Avaamo becomes clearly the stand-out option of the 2020s as other platforms don't quite stack up. The team at Avaamo are at the forefront of the technology and the only way is up. This is not for every organisation as it's very much enterprise level but if your aim is the experience of the end user then Avaamo or a very similar option will be paramount

Microsoft Bot Framework is much better and well more established without a lot of proprietary software/coding language. Lex is very limited with integration with standard hardware and network configurations. Lex has performance issues and was too slow to meet near real-time collaboration requirements. Bot Framework complements many other Microsoft communication products and this was key to implementing without a lot of new training required.

  • Interfaces with the SQL data set, tracks down plans/replies, and tests them with the SDK.
  • Utilizing the system is made conceivable by the Bot Dev gateway. We can interface our bot in excess of ten channels, including Twilio Facebook, Twilio, Twilio, and Slack, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
  • It is expensive.
