Creating a bot using the Amazon Lex V2 console

You create an Amazon Lex V2 bot to interact with your users to elicit information to accomplish a task. For example, you can create a bot that gathers the information needed to order flowers or to book a hotel room. To create a bot using the AWS Console, start by defining the name, description, and some basic information.

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

  2. Choose Create bot.

  3. In the Creation method section, choose Traditional and then select Create a blank bot.

  4. In the Bot configuration section, give the bot a name and an optional description.

  5. In the IAM permissions section, choose an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that provides Amazon Lex V2 permission to access other AWS services, such as Amazon CloudWatch. You can have Amazon Lex V2 create the role, or you can choose an existing role with CloudWatch permissions.

  6. In the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) section, choose the appropriate response.

  7. In the Idle session timeout section, choose the duration that Amazon Lex V2 keeps a session with a user open. Amazon Lex V2 maintains session variables for the duration of the session so that your bot can resume a conversation with the same variables.

  8. In the Advanced settings (optional) section, add tags that help identify the bot, control access and monitor resources.

  9. Choose Next to create the bot and move to adding a language.
