How to use intents in wit.ai effectively?

I am new to wit.ai and trying to implement a chat bot using it. in there tutorials there only using a single question(or sentence. in my case I only have questions). But when we have like 20 different question types how can I use the intent effectively.

So my questions are,
1) is the intent a keyword or something like that in wit ? 2) does it use to identify the right question out of all? 3) can I use different names other than 'intent' for the same purpose that is in wit examples ?

Can someone please help me with this. Thank you in advance.

Intent is a user-created entity. Wit.ai is providing bunch of entities but if you have a custom problem you may create an intent for it.

Some entities:

-wit/age_of_person

-wit/contact

-wit/greetings

You don't need to open 20 different intents for the 20 different types of questions which actually intent to ask the same thing.

If user says:

  • " Is it too hot here? ",
  • "What is the temperature right now?",
  • "Can you open the air-conditioner for me?"

His intent is probably something related to setting or getting current temperature of the room. So, the Trait Value of the intent could be set_temperature or get_temperature .

You can add intents directly from the Understanding tab:

Adding intent

By the way, try to feed more the Understanding tab to get more realistic and intelligent responses.

Have a nice day.
