Regex in an API.ai entity

Is it possible to detect an entity using a regex? For example, I want a number starting with '91xxxxxxx' to be mapped with an entity named EmployeeID. So if the user says something like - "Please pull out today's report for 91xxxxxxx", I should be able to map the number to the EmployeeID entity.

There are multiple requests about this on the API.AI forum. Unfortunately, presently the answer to your question is No.

The current suggestion is to use the @sys.any wildcard and implement the regex functionality in your business logic.
