Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to call a bot from another bot.

To put it simply, I'm going to have a bot with some knowledge, another with other knowledge and a last one that will serve as a welcome to direct the user to one or the other. The questions asked by the user will be more or less the same, but the knowledge sources won't provide the same answers, which is why I need to direct the user to the right co-pilot.

I've seen on the internet that you either need to go through the manifest.json, which I was able to find on portal.azure, but it seems that you need to host it to get a url to see it put as a skill, but I'm not sure about that and how I could do it.
I do have my copilot's id that I could exploit, but what copilot seems to be waiting for is a https:// url.

If anyone could help or at least point me in the right direction, or if there are easier ways to do what I want.

In advance, thank you and have a nice day

Hi VR-25101155-0,

I don't think currently there is a way to achieve this directly.

We could only maintain different topics with different actions and different knowledge source as we need.

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you trying to connect a Bot Framework bot or a Copilot bot as a skill to the Copilot bot? I was able to add a Bot Framework bot as a skill in the Copilot bot by configuring the manifest.json file and allowing the Copilot bot's ID. You can follow this article for further guidance.

Hello and thank you for your answers, I don't see how I can answer your suggestions directly so I'll do it like this:

@Vinoth Selvam : We could only maintain different topics with different actions and different knowledge source as we need. - You mean we can assign one knoledge source per topic? So far I can only see how to add my knowledge source to the bot in general but not to specific topics.

@SamithLK : Are you trying to connect a Bot Framework bot or a Copilot bot as a skill to the Copilot bot? - I'm trying to connect a copilot bot to another copilot bot, do you think a bot framework would be suitable for the project I'm undertaking? I mean, having a welcome bot that redirects to another bot following the theme of the question? I'll take a look at the link you provided, thanks.
