Topic vs QnA maker?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I want to use my Virtual agent to manage FAQ (frequencly asked questions). Is it a common practice?

What is the difference between a Topic in power virtual agent and the QnA maker in ms bot framework?

As I understand they can be used for the same purpose?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Yes, it's common to use FAQ importing inside Suggested topics in Power Virtual Agents.

    The difference between the topic and the Q&A maker is that topic you can create easily and provide a quick response, however the Q&A maker you can provide a better result and guarantee that your user can receive the correct message.

     

    I recommend that you use the suggested topics.

    @renatoromao OK! Thanks.

     

    I tried Suggested topics. It works well.

     

    Do you mean that it´s not only a more convenient way of doing it, it is also provides better results, compared to creating topics manually?

    Nice!

    Yes, it's more easily than create manually inside the PVA topics and inside the Q&A maker.

    does the topics have the same machine learning functionality as q&a maker.  

     

    the q&a maker set me up an azure account and i was able to set meta tags, preferred answers etc

     

    If they support the same level of granularity, then great! If you can help please do
