Difference between Classic Bot and Copilots

Posted on by hrics12 28
Can someone explain the difference between the classic bot option and copilot option when creating a new copilot? I don't understand the adding of the skills. Can the classic bot call a copilot? Do you give the classic bot the manifest json of the copilot? Or the other way around? Where do you get a manifest json for the copilot? I've downloaded the manifest.jason of the copilot but the classic bot won't take the manifest URL from the json. I am so lost on how your supposed to make this work. Any insight on how the two talk to each other would be super helpful.

    Difference between Classic Bot and Copilots
    Is it even possible to have a bot or copilot trigger another bot or copilot? If I have one bot and the user gives a topic, can you even trigger another bot or copilot? What order do you do it, like do I need to have the first bot made in bot framework and have it call the other copilots from it? Or can I have a classic bot that when a specific topic is selected it can trigger a copilot or other bot. Can they even talk to each other?
