Qué es Azure Bot Framework

Azure Bot Framework is an open-source platform for building intelligent bots that understand natural language, maintain conversation state, and integrate with multiple channels (Microsoft Teams, Slack, Facebook, web). It handles channel protocols, state management, and middleware orchestration. Conversational interfaces are becoming primary UX. Bots reduce support costs and enable 24/7 availability. Key reasons:

❓ Preguntas frecuentes

What is the difference between Azure Bot Framework and a chatbot library?

Bot Framework is a complete platform: channels (Teams, Slack, web), state management, and NLU integration. Libraries require more custom wiring.

Should I use LUIS or ChatGPT for NLU?

LUIS for structured understanding (extract intents and entities); ChatGPT for open-ended conversation. Hybrid approaches work well.

Can I deploy a bot to multiple channels (Teams, Slack, web) with one codebase?

Yes, via Bot Framework's adapter pattern. Write once, deploy to Teams, Slack, Facebook, web chat, and more.

How do I handle conversational state?

Bot Framework stores state in Azure Storage (Cosmos DB, Blob). DialogSet abstracts state management for multi-turn conversations.

What is the cost of running a bot?

Bot Framework itself is free. You pay for underlying services (Cognitive Services, Azure Storage, Functions). Simple bots cost $10-50/month.

Can bots integrate with business systems?

Yes, via Azure Functions or custom connectors. Bots can read from/write to CRM, ERP, databases, and APIs.
