You can write a Bot and expose the Microsoft Bot Framework -compatible API on the Internet. The Bot Framework Developer Portal will forward messages to users, and will send the user messages back to your Bot . The Bot Builder SDK is an open source SDK hosted on GitHub ( https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples ) that provides everything you need to build dialogs. Bot developers at Microsoft created this library to encapsulate functionality required for conversational bots. The Bot Directory (located at https://bots.botframework.com/ ) features Bots that you can communicate with through channels exposed through the Bot Connector .
