Description

Creates an Amazon Lex conversational bot or replaces an existing bot. When you create or update a bot you are only required to specify a name, a locale, and whether the bot is directed toward children under age 13. You can use this to add intents later, or to remove intents from an existing bot. When you create a bot with the minimum information, the bot is created or updated but Amazon Lex returns the response FAILED. You can build the bot after you add one or more intents. For more information about Amazon Lex bots, see how-it-works. If you specify the name of an existing bot, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the $LATEST version of the bot. Amazon Lex removes any fields that you don't provide values for in the request, except for the idleTTLInSeconds and privacySettings fields, which are set to their default values. If you don't specify values for required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception. This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutBot action. For more information, see security-iam.

Parameters

-AbortStatement <Statement>
When Amazon Lex can't understand the user's input in context, it tries to elicit the information a few times. After that, Amazon Lex sends the message defined in abortStatement to the user, and then cancels the conversation. To set the number of retries, use the valueElicitationPrompt field for the slot type. For example, in a pizza ordering bot, Amazon Lex might ask a user "What type of crust would you like?" If the user's response is not one of the expected responses (for example, "thin crust, "deep dish," etc.), Amazon Lex tries to elicit a correct response a few more times. For example, in a pizza ordering application, OrderPizza might be one of the intents. This intent might require the CrustType slot. You specify the valueElicitationPrompt field when you create the CrustType slot.If you have defined a fallback intent the cancel statement will not be sent to the user, the fallback intent is used instead. For more information, see AMAZON.FallbackIntent.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Checksum <String>
Identifies a specific revision of the $LATEST version.When you create a new bot, leave the checksum field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a BadRequestException exception.When you want to update a bot, set the checksum field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the $LATEST version. If you don't specify the checksum field, or if the checksum does not match the $LATEST version, you get a PreconditionFailedException exception.

Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ChildDirected <Boolean>
For each Amazon Lex bot created with the Amazon Lex Model Building Service, you must specify whether your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by specifying true or false in the childDirected field. By specifying true in the childDirected field, you confirm that your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA. By specifying false in the childDirected field, you confirm that your use of Amazon Lex is not related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA. You may not specify a default value for the childDirected field that does not accurately reflect whether your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA.If your use of Amazon Lex relates to a website, program, or other application that is directed in whole or in part, to children under age 13, you must obtain any required verifiable parental consent under COPPA. For information regarding the use of Amazon Lex in connection with websites, programs, or other applications that are directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13, see the Amazon Lex FAQ.

-EnableModelImprovement <Boolean>
Set to true to enable access to natural language understanding improvements.When you set the enableModelImprovements parameter to true you can use the nluIntentConfidenceThreshold parameter to configure confidence scores. For more information, see Confidence Scores.You can only set the enableModelImprovements parameter in certain Regions. If you set the parameter to true, your bot has access to accuracy improvements.The Regions where you can set the enableModelImprovements parameter to true are:
  • US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)
  • US West (Oregon) (us-west-2)
  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) (ap-southeast-2)
  • EU (Ireland) (eu-west-1)
In other Regions, the enableModelImprovements parameter is set to true by default. In these Regions setting the parameter to false throws a ValidationException exception.

-IdleSessionTTLInSecond <Int32>
The maximum time in seconds that Amazon Lex retains the data gathered in a conversation.A user interaction session remains active for the amount of time specified. If no conversation occurs during this time, the session expires and Amazon Lex deletes any data provided before the timeout.For example, suppose that a user chooses the OrderPizza intent, but gets sidetracked halfway through placing an order. If the user doesn't complete the order within the specified time, Amazon Lex discards the slot information that it gathered, and the user must start over.If you don't include the idleSessionTTLInSeconds element in a PutBot operation request, Amazon Lex uses the default value. This is also true if the request replaces an existing bot.The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

-NluIntentConfidenceThreshold <Double>
Determines the threshold where Amazon Lex will insert the AMAZON.FallbackIntent, AMAZON.KendraSearchIntent, or both when returning alternative intents in a PostContent or PostText response. AMAZON.FallbackIntent and AMAZON.KendraSearchIntent are only inserted if they are configured for the bot.You must set the enableModelImprovements parameter to true to use confidence scores in the following regions.
  • US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)
  • US West (Oregon) (us-west-2)
  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) (ap-southeast-2)
  • EU (Ireland) (eu-west-1)
In other Regions, the enableModelImprovements parameter is set to true by default.For example, suppose a bot is configured with the confidence threshold of 0.80 and the AMAZON.FallbackIntent. Amazon Lex returns three alternative intents with the following confidence scores: IntentA (0.70), IntentB (0.60), IntentC (0.50). The response from the PostText operation would be:
  • AMAZON.FallbackIntent
  • IntentA
  • IntentB
  • IntentC

Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
