**βοΈ BUILDING INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE-GRADE HELP DESK BOTS USING POWER VIRTUAL AGENTS**
**Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella has said: “Human Language is the new UI layer, bots are like new application”. As more and more bots are getting popular in homes and enterprises, the demand for custom bots is increasing at rapid space.Power Virtual Agents a SaaS offering from Microsoft empowers teams to easily create powerful bots using a guided, no-code graphical interface without the need for data scientists or developers.Microsoft Cognitive Services let you build apps with powerful algorithms to see, hear, speak, understand and interpret our needs using natural methods of communication, with just a few lines of code. Easily add intelligent features β such as emotion and sentiment detection, vision and speech recognition, language understanding, knowledge, and search β into your app, across devices and platforms such as iOS, Android, and Windows, keep improving, and are easy to set up.In this session, we will cover how to build the no code intelligent help desk bots using Power Virtual Agents, and Cognitive Services. The target audience of this hands-on session is Power Users, IT Pros and Developers.You will learn:- What are Power Virtual Agents?- What are Cognitive Services?- What is AI Builder?- What is Composer?- How to create bots using Power Virtual Agents?- How to implement authentication in Chat Bots?- How to leverage Power Virtual Agents and Cognitive Services to implement enterprise-grade bots?**

**βοΈ AI: ITβS ON YOUR ROADMAP, BUT WHATβS THE SIMPLEST WAY TO START?**
**So youβve got Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based projects on your roadmap, but youβre not sure if youβre ready. Well, thanks to recent innovations and democratization in this space, itβs now easier than ever to get started. In this session, we will give a brief introduction to AI and Machine Learning (ML) and their importance to innovation in todayβs world, and how they are shaping the future.We will then discuss the high barrier to entry that used to exist in ML/AI space and how that barrier got reduced in recent years thanks to recent innovations like tooling, models, reusability, built-in expertise, and cloud computing building blocks. Weβll share these innovations, and the specific steps you can take to jump-start your next AI-based project. As a bonus, there will be a live demo of some of the tools you can use today to jump-start your next AI-based project.**

**βοΈ ADDING MACHINE LEARNING TO .NET APPLICATIONS**
**Machine Learning has been gaining wide acceptance due to its ability to make a determination in various scenarios based on specific training. It is now available to .Net developers for integration into applications. This allows it to be effective and ubiquitous in the enterprise. .Net developers can now incorporate machine learning into line-of-business applications using Visual Studio and C#. This session will walk you through the fundamentals of creating an ML-integrated application and ongoing model training.**
