Understanding Parloa's Duckling-based Pre-Built Slots
Last updated
Pre-built slots enable you to process common user inputs consistently and efficiently. These slots, based on Duckling, simplify the extraction of key information from sentences. Let's explore how these pre-built slots work and how you can leverage them effectively.
Imagine a user wants to repay a certain amount of money they owe. For instance:
Hi , I owe $60, can I pay this amount back please?
In this case, the extracted entity is the amount $60. This is where the amountOfMoney pre-built slot comes into play. It specializes in handling various currency types.
If you're utilizing platforms other than Phone 2 (such as Phone V2 or Textchat), it's important to define the pre-built slot types within each slot's respective Platforms tab. This ensures consistent behavior and understanding across different interfaces.
The following lists all the pre-built Slot types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
When you select a prebuilt slot, the first tab Info displays all relevant information, including the Available Data in Javascript. The following example shows the Slot amountOfMoney's available date:
