Intents

Intents refer to the underlying purpose or goal behind a person's spoken or written statement. In the context of technology, especially in virtual assistants or chatbots, an intent is what the user aims to accomplish, such as booking a flight, setting an alarm, or finding weather information. Recognizing intent allows these systems to understand user requests accurately and respond appropriately. Essentially, it’s about interpreting the user's meaning so the system can provide relevant assistance or information.
