Abstract [sv]

Medan teknologin ständigt utvecklas strävar mer och mer företag efter att automatisera arbetsuppgifter. Användningen av chatbotar sociala media blir allt mer vanligt som en ersättning av kundtjänster då de både är effektivt och pålitligt, samt att företagen sparar pengar. I denna projektrapport har ett IT-företag frågat efter en implementation och konceptbevis på en integration mellan deras applikation och meddelande tjänsten Microsoft Teams. De vill att det ska vara möjligt att använda en chatbot i Teams för att kunna fylla i information i ett formulär som sedan skickas som ticket till deras system. De som arbetar i systemet ska då kunna se ticketen och direkt kunna börja arbeta på uppgiften. I denna rapport beskrivs en lösning på detta problem samt, hur det fungerar, hur det implementeras samt en diskussion på lösningen. Diskussionen fokuserar på den slutliga lösningen, användartesterna, relaterat arbete, etiska problem samt framtida arbete.

Abstract [en]

As technology evolves, more and more companies strive to automate as much work as possible. The use of chatbots in messaging apps is becoming more and more common as replacements in the operation of customer service because of the efficiency and reliability it poses. Replacing customer service with chatbots also saves companies money. In this paper an IT company have asked for the implementation and proof of concept of integration between their server-side application, to Microsoft Teams. They want it to be possible to use a chatbot in Teams to send tickets containing data to their system in order to be handled by users of their application. In this paper a solution to this problem is described as well as discussions about the chosen implementation. The discussion is focused on the final solution, user tests, related work, ethical issues as well as future work. User tests of the implemented solution are included in the results. The conclusion of the work is that this implementation is useful and saves time and effort both for the customer and the employees. There is much potential for future work to be expanded upon, including specialized Ticket Forms and implemented AI.
