How to answer simple questions defined in a list?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I have a list of words or phrases with a description or definition. How can I make a bot just simply answer questions found in the list? How do I import the list?

For example:

namedefinition
cara four-wheeled road vehicle that is powered by an engine and is able to carry a small number of people.

- What is a car?

- A car is a four-wheeled road vehicle that is powered by an engine and is able to carry a small number of people.

    Hi @wokbot,

     

    You could use the QnA service for this. This is a great service which also supports import question and answer pairs. From your Power Virtual agent you should be to call that service via flow.

     

    @fchopo has written a great blog about this approach:

    Let me know if you need any additional help setting this up.

    Thanks for the answer. I stopped exploring when I see pricing options by following the links. All I know is that our company is using Azure DevOps and Teams. It seems that this approach may cost extra. Do you happen to know if there's any options without extra cost?

    Hello @wokbot 

     

     You can use PVA in Microsoft Teams. This would be included in your Office license with teams.

     

    You can import topics using the suggested topics feature:

    Hello there must be other options for this. If you import a list it creates a lost list of Topics that become difficult to manage since there are no "Topic" folders or other ways to organize Topics. Are there other ways to create a glossary or dictionary of terms like the original questions posted above? Thank you for your time and consideration.
