[Dev support]: Is it possible to generate an Adaptive Card response using prompt only

[asith-w]

Question

I am using the .NET library and would like to know if I can generate a small summary of a user-requested topic directly from a prompt and include it in an Adaptive Card, as shown in the attached image.

Is this feasible ? I tried it but didn't work as expected.

Here is my prompt

You are an AI assistant for Microsoft Teams Bot

When a user asks a question about a specific topic, the You should generate a brief summary and include it in the below adaptive card before sending it

here is the adaptive card response for the teams

@asith-w : It is possible but sending card must be handled in code. Please check following sample app for reference: https://github.com/microsoft/teams-ai/tree/main/dotnet/samples/04.ai.f.vision.cardMaster

Hi @SubbaReddi,

Thank you for your response. I tried the sample and created my own action similar to [Action("SendCard")]. However, I noticed that this action is being called multiple times for a single user input. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

@asith-w : Help me with repro steps to validate the issue. because i see issue is not reproducible with SendCard.

The only change I made to the sample was adding a new action method called ShowBriefSummary ShowBriefSummary is hitting many times per command.

 [Action("ShowBriefSummary")]
 public async Task<string> ShowSummary([ActionTurnContext] ITurnContext turnContext, [ActionTurnState] AppState turnState, [ActionParameters] Dictionary<string, object> args)
 {
     if (args.TryGetValue("briefSummary", out object? cardObject) && cardObject is string summary)
     {
         await turnContext.SendActivityAsync($"<pre>{summary}</pre>");
         return "action is done";
     }

     return "failed to parsed card from action arguments";
 }

actions.json skprompt.txt

It seems like the issue was related to the history feature. After I changed includeHistory(actions.json) to false, it worked without any problems
