Built-in Intents

For common actions, you can use the standard built-in intents library. To create an intent from a built-in intent, choose a built-intent in the console, and give it a new name. The new intent has the configuration of the base intent, such as the sample utterances.

In the current implementation, you can't do the following:

• Add or remove sample utterances from the base intent

• Configure slots for built-in intents

To add a built-in intent to a bot

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Lex console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/lex/.

2. Choose the bot to add the built-in intent to.

3. In the navigation pane, choose the plus (+) next to Intents.

4. For Add intent, choose Search existing intents.

5. In the Search intents box, type the name of the built-in intent to add to your bot.

6. For Copy built-in intent, give the intent a name, and then choose Add.

7. Configure the intent as required for your bot.
