Azure AI Bot Service
Azure AI Bot Service is Microsoft’s platform for building and deploying conversational agents. It handles the core infrastructure needed to create chatbots that interact with users across various channels, managing the logic and connectivity required for these automated interactions.
This setup suits teams already invested in the Azure ecosystem who need scalable bot infrastructure without upfront commitments. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier; since it operates strictly on a pay-as-you-go model, every interaction incurs a cost, meaning you cannot test or prototype without incurring immediate charges.
