MS-900 Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services Practice Question
Which TWO Microsoft 365 services can be used to create and manage chatbots that use AI to answer user questions?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse Microsoft Copilot Studio (a low-code chatbot builder) with Microsoft Power Automate (a workflow tool) or Microsoft Viva Topics (a knowledge management service), not realizing that only Copilot Studio and Bot Framework directly create and manage AI-powered conversational chatbots.

Microsoft Copilot Studio

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Microsoft Copilot Studio
Why this is correct
Microsoft Copilot Studio is a low-code platform that lets you build AI-powered chatbots and custom copilots without writing code. It provides a graphical conversation designer, natural language understanding, and connectors to Microsoft 365 services like SharePoint, Teams, and Dataverse, enabling you to create, publish, and manage intelligent bots that can be embedded in websites or Teams. This is the only out-of-the-box, no-code chatbot builder in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
- ✗
Microsoft Forms
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Forms is a survey and form-building tool designed to collect user feedback, quizzes, and registrations through static question sets and response aggregation in Excel. It does not support conversational flow, natural language processing, or branching logic that interprets free-form user dialogue. While forms can be embedded in channels like Teams, they are fundamentally a data-collection tool, not a chatbot creation service.
- ✗
Microsoft Viva Topics
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Viva Topics uses AI to automatically generate topic pages and cards that organize knowledge across SharePoint and OneDrive by surfacing related files, people, and content. It is a knowledge management and discovery service that displays static or dynamically curated information, not a conversational agent builder. Viva Topics cannot process live user input, maintain a dialogue, or execute interactive bot interactions in a chat interface.
- ✓
Microsoft Bot Framework
Why this is correct
Microsoft Bot Framework is a pro-code development platform that provides SDKs, tools, and APIs for building conversational AI bots in languages like C#, JavaScript, or Python. It offers deep control over dialog logic, integrates with Azure Cognitive Services for language understanding, and connects to multi-channel platforms such as Teams, Slack, and Web Chat. This is a correct answer because it is a Microsoft service explicitly used to create and manage chatbots, albeit requiring programming skills rather than Copilot Studio's low-code approach.
- ✗
Microsoft Power Automate
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Power Automate is an automation service that creates workflows, known as flows, to connect apps and services and automate repetitive tasks like sending notifications, copying files, or approving requests. It does not include a conversational user interface or natural language understanding to build chatbots. Although Power Automate can be called as an action from within a chatbot to execute back-end processes, it is not itself a tool for creating the chat experience.
