bot = client.bots.create(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name,
    parameters=Bot(
        location="global",
        sku=Sku(name="F0"),  # Free tier
        kind="azurebot",
        properties=BotProperties(
            display_name="My Chat Bot",
            description="A conversational AI bot",
            endpoint="https://my-bot-app.azurewebsites.net/api/messages",

print(f"Bot created: {bot.name}")

Get Bot Details

bot = client.bots.get(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name
)

print(f"Bot: {bot.properties.display_name}")
print(f"Endpoint: {bot.properties.endpoint}")
print(f"SKU: {bot.sku.name}")

List Bots in Resource Group

bots = client.bots.list_by_resource_group(resource_group_name=resource_group)

for bot in bots:
    print(f"Bot: {bot.name} - {bot.properties.display_name}")

List All Bots in Subscription

all_bots = client.bots.list()

for bot in all_bots:
    print(f"Bot: {bot.name} in {bot.id.split('/')[4]}")

Update Bot

bot = client.bots.update(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name,
    properties=BotProperties(
        display_name="Updated Bot Name",
        description="Updated description"
