Hello @shilpaCM You can use the Text to Speech avatar feature in Azure Bot Service to create a chatbot with a lifelike avatar that can speak to users. Here are the general steps to follow:

• Create a bot using Azure Bot Service. You can use any of the supported languages and frameworks, such as C# or Node.js.
• Add the Text to Speech avatar feature to your bot by integrating the Azure Cognitive Services Speech Service. You can use the Speech SDK to add speech capabilities to your bot, including the ability to synthesize speech from text and play it through the avatar.
• Customize the avatar to match your brand and use case. You can use the Azure Bot Service Web Chat control to display the avatar in your chatbot and allow users to interact with it.
• Test and deploy your chatbot to your preferred channels, such as Microsoft Teams, Facebook Messenger, or your own website.
