What are Entities?
Entities are specific pieces of information extracted from user input that provide context to an intent. They are like keywords or phrases that help in understanding the specifics of a userβs request.
How Entities works?
- Entities help chatbot extract the key information from user message.
- Required entities ensures that intent is only triggered when the userβs message contains the required entity information.
For example, in the sentence βBook a flight to Paris on March 5th,β the entities would be βParisβ (destination) and βMarch 5thβ (date). These entities helps AI to process and respond to the request accurately by understanding the detailed requirements within the userβs intent.
