Conversational UI Control for ASP.NET AJAX

With the R2 2018 we have taken steps to enable ASP.NET AJAX developers to add cognitive features to their applications by adding a brand new component: the Conversational UI control (aka RadChat). This new control is intended to be used with various chat bot services. Highlights of the features include:

  • Built-in hero cards
  • Built-in suggested actions
  • Built-in simple message and typing indicator
  • Custom card/attachment templates
  • Easy connectivity to chat bot services (Azure/Microsoft Bot Framework, Wit.ai, Amazon Lex)
