FAQ Plus [Version 2] App Template

Documentation Deployment guide Architecture

Chatbots are an easy way to provide answers to frequently asked questions by users. However, most chatbots fail to engage with users in a meaningful way because there is no human in the loop when the chatbot fails.

FAQ Plus bot is a friendly Q&A bot that brings a human in the loop when it is unable to help. One can ask the bot a question and the bot responds with an answer if it's in the knowledge base. If not, the bot allows the user to submit a query which then gets posted in a pre-configured team of experts who are help to provide support by acting upon the notifications from within their Team itself.

FAQ Plus has following features:

An end-user interacting with FAQ Plus:

FAQ Plus in action (user view)

Experts team using FAQ Plus:

FAQ Plus in action (experts view)

FAQ Plus [Version 2] adds the following new capabilities

Members of the experts team will now be able to

  • add a new QnA pair to the knowledge base directly using messaging extension
  • edit and delete QnA pairs added through the bot
  • track history of experts updating QnA pair
  • configure the answer to show up as an adaptive card with additional details like title, subtitle, image, etc. instead of usual text based answer
