create-intent¶

Description¶

Creates an intent.

To define the interaction between the user and your bot, you define one or more intents. For example, for a pizza ordering bot you would create an OrderPizza intent.

When you create an intent, you must provide a name. You can optionally provide the following:

Sample utterances. For example, “I want to order a pizza” and “Can I order a pizza.” You can’t provide utterances for built-in intents.
Information to be gathered. You specify slots for the information that you bot requests from the user. You can specify standard slot types, such as date and time, or custom slot types for your application.
How the intent is fulfilled. You can provide a Lambda function or configure the intent to return the intent information to your client application. If you use a Lambda function, Amazon Lex invokes the function when all of the intent information is available.
A confirmation prompt to send to the user to confirm an intent. For example, “Shall I order your pizza?”
A conclusion statement to send to the user after the intent is fulfilled. For example, “I ordered your pizza.”
A follow-up prompt that asks the user for additional activity. For example, “Do you want a drink with your pizza?”

Options¶

--intent-name (string)

The name of the intent. Intent names must be unique in the locale that contains the intent and cannot match the name of any built-in intent.

--description (string)

A description of the intent. Use the description to help identify the intent in lists.

--parent-intent-signature (string)

A unique identifier for the built-in intent to base this intent on.

--sample-utterances (list)

An array of strings that a user might say to signal the intent. For example, “I want a pizza”, or “I want a {PizzaSize} pizza”.

In an utterance, slot names are enclosed in curly braces (“{“, “}”) to indicate where they should be displayed in the utterance shown to the user..

(structure)

A sample utterance that invokes an intent or respond to a slot elicitation prompt.

utterance -> (string)

The sample utterance that Amazon Lex uses to build its machine-learning model to recognize intents.

Shorthand Syntax:

utterance=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "utterance": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--dialog-code-hook (structure)

Specifies that Amazon Lex invokes the alias Lambda function for each user input. You can invoke this Lambda function to personalize user interaction.

For example, suppose that your bot determines that the user’s name is John. You Lambda function might retrieve John’s information from a backend database and prepopulate some of the values. For example, if you find that John is gluten intolerant, you might set the corresponding intent slot, glutenIntolerant to true . You might find John’s phone number and set the corresponding session attribute.

enabled -> (boolean)

Enables the dialog code hook so that it processes user requests.

Shorthand Syntax:

enabled=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "enabled": true|false
}

--fulfillment-code-hook (structure)

Specifies that Amazon Lex invokes the alias Lambda function when the intent is ready for fulfillment. You can invoke this function to complete the bot’s transaction with the user.

For example, in a pizza ordering bot, the Lambda function can look up the closest pizza restaurant to the customer’s location and then place an order on the customer’s behalf.

enabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether a Lambda function should be invoked to fulfill a specific intent.

--input-contexts (list)

A list of contexts that must be active for this intent to be considered by Amazon Lex.

When an intent has an input context list, Amazon Lex only considers using the intent in an interaction with the user when the specified contexts are included in the active context list for the session. If the contexts are not active, then Amazon Lex will not use the intent.

A context can be automatically activated using the outputContexts property or it can be set at runtime.

For example, if there are two intents with different input contexts that respond to the same utterances, only the intent with the active context will respond.

An intent may have up to 5 input contexts. If an intent has multiple input contexts, all of the contexts must be active to consider the intent.

(structure)

The name of a context that must be active for an intent to be selected by Amazon Lex.

name -> (string)

The name of the context.

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--output-contexts (list)

A lists of contexts that the intent activates when it is fulfilled.

You can use an output context to indicate the intents that Amazon Lex should consider for the next turn of the conversation with a customer.

When you use the outputContextsList property, all of the contexts specified in the list are activated when the intent is fulfilled. You can set up to 10 output contexts. You can also set the number of conversation turns that the context should be active, or the length of time that the context should be active.

(structure)

Describes a session context that is activated when an intent is fulfilled.

name -> (string)

The name of the output context.

timeToLiveInSeconds -> (integer)

The amount of time, in seconds, that the output context should remain active. The time is figured from the first time the context is sent to the user.

turnsToLive -> (integer)

The number of conversation turns that the output context should remain active. The number of turns is counted from the first time that the context is sent to the user.

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,timeToLiveInSeconds=integer,turnsToLive=integer ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "string",
    "timeToLiveInSeconds": integer,
    "turnsToLive": integer

--locale-id (string)

The identifier of the language and locale where this intent is used. All of the bots, slot types, and slots used by the intent must have the same locale. For more information, see Supported languages .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
