PnP Weekly - Episode 85 - 25th of May 2020

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Stefan Bisser - MVP and the technical lead at Solvion, located at Austria. This episode's conversation evolves around the Bot Framework work how it has evolved since past years. As there are new capabilities in the Bot Framework, more and more customers and partners are also starting to use this model. Microsoft Teams is certainly one of the biggest hosts for Bot Framework solutions, but the same code can be used in public web sites, SharePoint or in any other solution to surface conversational interface for end users. Discussion touched also many other topics.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
