Built-in intents

Focus mode
Built-in intents - Amazon Lex

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 left menu, choose the language and then choose Intents.

  4. Choose Add intent, and then choose Use built-in intent.

  5. In Built-in intent, choose the intent to use.

  6. Give the intent a name, and then choose Add.
