This hands-on course equips learners with the essential skills to design, develop, and deploy AI-based chatbots using Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services and Java. Tailored for intermediate-level participants, the course focuses on applying Azure’s QnA Maker to construct intelligent FAQ-driven bots and seamlessly integrate them into Java applications.

Learners will begin by understanding core concepts of Azure’s cognitive architecture and then progress to configuring QnA services through a dedicated interface. They will build a chatbot back-end in Java, troubleshoot real-world integration issues, and validate the end-to-end deployment using Spring Tool Suite. Finally, learners will evaluate the impact of cloud-based services on operational costs and demonstrate how to perform responsible service cleanup in Azure. By the end of the course, learners will be able to: Design QnA knowledge bases using Azure Cognitive Services. Develop REST-enabled Java applications for chatbot integration. Diagnose and resolve common implementation issues during development. Execute and validate chatbot functionality through local and cloud-based environments. Optimize and manage Azure resources to ensure cost efficiency.
