Intents for chatbot conversations

As an administrator or an application business analyst, you can add phrases and modify the out-of-the-box intents in IBM Watson Assistant. This allows you to add phrases and words that suit your local language preferences. For example, you can add a new phrase, such as "leave this chat" to the start-over intent. For more information, see Configuring IBM Watson Assistant to work with BMC Helix Virtual Agent.

The following image shows the Intents tab in IBM Watson admin:

End users can use BMC Helix Virtual Agent to submit their service requests by using natural language conversation. During a conversation, based on the required intent, an end-user enters relevant text in the chat. An intent is a goal that the user wants to accomplish and is reflected in the user's input (or text) in the chat. The chatbot understands the user's intent and then responds to the user with the correct dialog.

While interacting with an out-of-the-box chatbot, as a user, you can use various intents (or their variations as texts) to converse with the chatbot. For example, while interacting with BMC ITOps Chatbot, you can request for a service budget by entering cloud cost budget in the chat. Whereas, while interacting with BMC Chatbot to request for a leave, you can enter paid time off in the chat.
