• Build an intelligent bot using Microsoft Bot Framework that leverages LUIS and Azure Search.
• Perform rapid development/testing with Ngrok and test your bots with unit tests and direct bot communication.
• Effectively leverage the custom vision service to create image classification services that can then be leveraged by an application.
