I've started looking into developing Skype Bots and I'm a bit confused on how my bot can respond with something other than plain text. I watched a video on How to build a bot for Skype from the Build 2016 conference and they mentioned something about Visual Cards. Basically a visual card seems to be a clickable image with text and/or a carousel of clickable images. Anyways... I basically want to send the user something nice and pretty that they can click to obtain more information. Thank you for any direction you can give.
Supported capabilities in Skype are shown at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/bots/docs. These do not currently include rich cards but hopefully something that isn't too far away.

I am developing a MS Teams bot using Bot Framework with nodejs.
After the user asks a question, my bot has a list of items to display as WhoBot does, as shown in the below image. Does anybody know how to build this beautiful and clean menu results with a scroll? Or who can guide me on the tutorial or webpage on how to make this? Please help me!
This is the list card implementation. You can find the docs related to it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/cards/design-effective-cards#lists. Regarding the search logic, you will need to implement it at the backend in your application and pass the items to list card.
i have a question about chatbots with dialogflow.
I am currently building a chatbot in Dialogflow. I would like to add this chatbot to my website. My problem is that this chatbot should also contain buttons, that the user can click on this. I have built some buttons,but I can't see the buttons in the Dialogflow web demo. There are buttons on dialogflow console, but it isn't shown on the web demo. Does anyone know what that could be?
I only found it as a source kommunicate.io, which didn't really help me either.
Thanks for answers..
Dialogflow Web Demo does not support rich responses (buttons, cards, images etc..). For integrating it to your webpage you can either use third-party solutions like Kommunicate or build your own web wedge.
Yeah, DialogFlow web demo does not provide rich responses like the card, quick replies & suggestion chips. But you can use Dialog Flow messenger(New Feature) to add buttons & images. You've to use Custom Payload for getting a rich response.
In Blogger I am trying to recreate the audio feature used in this web site http://www.talkenglish.com/lessondetails.aspx?ALID=2001 where you click on text and hear the audio (an mp3 file) instantly. When I embed identical code into a Blogger page and click it, it wants to play the mp3 file by kick starting Windows Media Player. I don't want a solution like SoundCloud that creates visible player controls. Can anyone suggest a solution. I am hoping to use it to create an online amateur speech therapy package to support some voluntary work I do in this area.
Thanks
That site is using a file called audioplayer.js. To be honest, I am not exactly sure if that's custom built or not. You can look at the source for that here. You have a bunch of options to get the functionality you're looking for. A couple are below.
You can use SoundManager2 which is a very robust JS Sound plugin.
You can also use HTML5's built in <audio> element. You can read more about that here
I am trying to write a simple chrome app to play a sequence of online pictures on my chromecast device.
I have looked at some examples, but could't find anything which I could tweak around to get the simple behavior i needed. Maybe someone here could help, by providing directions or advise on getting started with developing something like that for chromecast.
UPDATE:
To give you a better idea, about the specifics, let me add some more details to my requirements.
It needs to be controlled from chrome
I want to pass a playlist with 10s-100s of images so it can slide them in circles.
After receiving playlist chromecast device should be able to continue on its own, without continuously asking for next image.
This is actually similar to backdrop feature Google is planning to introduce, but I wanted to write something myself.
Thanks
If you don't want to develop your own Cast receiver, then you can use the media namespace channel and the Styled Media Receiver to display a photo at a time:
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/styled_receiver
You will have to add the logic to advance from photo to photo in your sender app.
If you are willing to develop your own custom receiver, then you can start with this Cast sample app:
https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-android
It allows you to send messages to a custom receiver. You can use that to send the URLs of the photos and then you can add JavaScript logic in the receiver to play a slideshow.
Just to let you know, I have tried various options and ended up writing custom receiver and Chrome sender applications. This was really straightforward and exactly what I wanted.
See the links above for guidance and also examples here.

You seem to not have done any background learning on iOS, judging by the broadness of your question.
I would recommend the Apple Documentation (Getting started) as a good place to start.
Also, see some of these books on Amazon.
To answer you question, there are a few frameworks to look into, for example AV Foundation.
