[ARCHIVED] anybody making Canvas chatbot progress?

[elliot_reed]

Has anyone continued working on a Canvas chatbot? I'm trying to make a course-specific chatbot that emerges on course homepage and prompts the student to click on frequently-asked-questions which the instructor has written, and which may change week-to-week. I can't find a tutorial for this kind of chatbot except maybe using QnA and Azure to migrate FAQ content into A.I. Please let me know if anybody has any ideas about how I might create such a "prompt"-bot that works with course-specific FAQ. 

For example, the bot (hopefully with a thumbnail profile image) would appear in the corner and say: 

"How's everything going?" 

and the student would be able to click on one of the following possible answers, provided beneath the question:

"Good! I'm caught up and don't have any questions."

"Great. Are there classmates who need help with anything?"

"Not good. I need a little help."

p.s.

I have experimented on it using iframes tag. I used free open source AI Bot Libre.  Here is a screenshot:

This is awesome Jerome. I'm looking into Bot Libre too. Do you have a resource you found helpful for programming your own bot? Or how did you go about building it?

[jeromealvarez]

Bot Libre is more like a turnkey package starting with selecting the bot's Avatar and voice. You can build your AI bot from basic featured scripts, sort of templates, then you add and edit scripts to tailor it. You can later train your bot's greetings and responses to possible user questions.

Thanks for the explanation! Looks doable, but will definitely require some work and time!

I am currently attempting to achieve the same task using Copilot Studio. At the moment, I am in the process of creating a template document to input the course documentation into the bot. However, I am encountering difficulties in displaying the bot on the homepage or modules view.
