If you are using Amazon Lex V2, refer to the Amazon Lex V2 guide instead.
If you are using Amazon Lex V1, we recommend upgrading your bots to Amazon Lex V2. We are no longer adding new features to V1 and strongly recommend using V2 for all new bots.
Step 6: Update the Intent Configuration to Add an Utterance (Console)
The OrderFlowers bot is configured with only two
utterances. This provides limited information for Amazon Lex to build a
machine learning model that recognizes and responds to the user's
intent. Try typing "I want to order flowers", as in the following test window.
Amazon Lex doesn’t recognize the text, and responds with "I didn't
understand you, what would you like to do?" You can improve the
machine learning model by adding more utterances.
Each utterance that you add provides Amazon Lex with more information about how to respond to your users. You don't need to add an exact utterance, Amazon Lex generalizes from the samples that you provide to recognize both exact matches and similar input.
To add an utterance (console)
-
Add the utterance "I want flowers" to the intent by typing it in the Sample utterances section of the intent editor, as in the following image, and then clicking the plus icon next to the new utterance.
-
Build your bot to pick up the change. Choose Build, and then choose Build again.
-
Test your bot to confirm that it recognized the new utterance. In the test window, as in the following image, type "I want to order flowers." Amazon Lex recognizes the phrase and responds with "What type of flowers would you like to order?".
