API to call Q&A ?

[OlivierVDB]

Hi there,

I'm really interested by Q&A and the features that it provides. Although I'd like to integrate that with Cortana but without going through the mobile version.

My example would be : an agent is speaking on the microphone on his computer. The cognitives services understand the question and then ask the question to Q&A using an API. It's important that the agent is using his computer only and not the mobile version of Cortana.

In my mind the rough workflow would be  agent asking a question -> cortana -> trigger Q&A API -> Q&A display the results on the screen in Power Bi.

I can't find any API that allow to populate the Q&A question from outside. Does that exist ? 

By any chance do you have an example of the scenario I'm describing.

Hi @OlivierVDB,

Power BI can integrate with Cortana in Windows 10 November 2015 version or later. We need to go to Power BI service, enable one or more datasets for Cortana, create a report page called a Cortana answer card. For detail information, please refer to this article: Introduction to Cortana for Power BI.
