Type

  • Custom types can be used in place of built-in types and function similarly to enums.

  • Custom types can be assigned to slots in a scene or parameters in intent training phrases.

  • The type definition includes optional exclusions for words or phrases that should not be matched.

  • There are three sub-types for matching: synonym (enum), regular expression, and free text.

Declaration of a custom type, as opposed to built-in types. Types can be assigned to slots in a scene or parameters of an intent's training phrases. Practically, Types can be thought of as enums. Note, type name is specified in the name of the file.
