What is the schedule for a question-answer template (vs. QnA Maker)

Open snapfisher opened this issue 2 years ago • 11 comments

Since QnA Maker is now has an official end of life date -- with no new QnA Maker Resources being allowed after 10/1/2022. What is the schedule for a bot template that uses custom question answering instead? "Core Bot with Custom Question Answering" is what I am looking for.

I'm also very interested in this... October is not too far away...

Looks like I'll be very interested in this as well, very soon.

May I suggest that this is an opportunity, when creating the new equivalent of the QnAMaker dialog, to add the often-requested ability to return the answer score to us, so we can take action if the user seems to not be getting through to the bot (eg "looks like the bot doesn't support what you are trying to do, do you want to send feedback to the devs? yes/no"). I currently have to follow every QnAMaker dialog node with a raw HTTP call, so I can get the score :(. See https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer/issues/6080, https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer/issues/6109, etc.

Thanks!

Same here... we are using QnA Maker a lot at the moment and would be happy to get involved in shaping testing support in Composer for custom question answering.

I also would like to know when this is planned. I guess it needs to be a priority with QnA Maker being retired.

Hope we can have answer soon, still I can't integrate custom question answer in composer

Hi!

Same question here, we have a live project that will need to be migrated.

Bumping this. Currently have a live project that will need to be migrated. Can anyone let us know if this will be officially supported before QnA Maker EOL?

Would be great to get an update from Microsoft about this. October is coming soon!

@stevkan - As the only Microsoft representative who has taken any interest are you able to offer an update on the future of this issue? It feels like this capability is about to fall off a cliff without Microsoft taking any notice.
