README.md

This sample shows how to integrate LUIS to a bot with ASP.Net Web API and Application Insights.

To try this sample

  • Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/botbuilder-dotnet.git

Prerequisites

Set up Luis

  • Navigate to LUIS portal.

  • Click the Sign in button.

  • Click on My Apps.

  • Click on the Import new app button.

  • Click on the Choose File and select LUIS-Reminders.json from the BotBuilder-Samples\samples\csharp_webapi\12.NLP-With-LUIS\CognitiveModels folder.

  • Update nlp-with-luis.bot file with your AppId, SubscriptionKey, Region and Version. You can find this information under "Publish" tab for your LUIS application at LUIS portal. For example, for https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/luis/v2.0/apps/XXXXXXXXXXXXX?subscription-key=YYYYYYYYYYYY&verbose=true&timezoneOffset=0&q=

    • The AppID can be found in "Application Information"
    • The SubscriptionKey can be found in "Keys and Endpoints", under the Key 1 column
    • The region can be found in "Keys and Endpoints", under the Region column
    • The Version is listed on the page.

  • Update nlp-with-luis.bot file with your Authoring Key. You can find this under your user settings at luis.ai. Click on your name in the upper right hand corner of the portal, and click on the "Settings" menu option. NOTE: Once you publish your app on LUIS portal for the first time, it takes some time for the endpoint to become available, about 5 minutes of wait should be sufficient.
