I was sailing in the Microsoft Developer Network and visualized the Microsoft Bot Framework.

I have two questions:

What is Microsoft Bot Framework and what it’s for?

Really the name is already very intuitive but I think it would be nice to have information and details in Portuguese about this Framework.

    Of documentation page own site (in free translation): "The Microsoft Bot Framework provides exactly what you need to build and connect smart bots (also called agents) naturally interacting with their users wherever they are chatting, from text/sms to Skype, Slack, Office 365 mail and other popular services."

The name says it all: a robot.

A robot performs some actions automatically, such as reading and interpreting user messages, monitoring chat rooms, sending scheduled messages, and so on. Here is the documentation.

Robots are written in C#. There is a special type of project in Visual Studio for Bots. They can be integrated into Skype, Slack, SMS, Email, Telegram...

On the date of this reply, is a preview. In the future, I believe that this technology can be very mature and have more functionality. I will be editing this answer if it occurs.

It’s a framework (that is, it offers abstractions under which you program) for creating chatbots (software that works inside messaging apps; see more here).

Microsoft provides C# and Javascript Sdks, and allows you to connect your chatbot (a single implementation) to multiple messaging apps, such as Skype, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Web, SMS, Email, etc.

In the domestic market, with Portuguese documentation and similar features, you can try the Blip.
