Intent miner overview

Use the intent miner to help quickly identify user intents in conversations between customers and agents. Intent miner searches a historical set of conversation chat and voice transcripts between agents and customers for a specified date range. Next, it extracts the top set of intents and the analytics that surround those intents. Finally, it returns a list of intent utterances that the system associates with that intent.

You can import mined intents in Architect into a Genesys Dialog Engine Bot Flow or Genesys Digital Bot Flow for intent configuration. For more information, see Import mined intents into a Genesys Dialog Engine Bot Flow or Genesys Digital Bot Flow. 

Notes:
  • You can only run up to five mining sessions at a time.
  • You can save up to 100 intent miner sessions in a single org.
  • You must have a minimum of 50 conversations available for the mining session. If you cannot meet the minimum, consider expanding the date range to include more conversations.

This section describes the available columns on the intent miner home page. The arrows up arrows and down arrows in each column enables you to sort the information.

What are intents and utterances?

Intents describe a goal or task that a user wants to do, such as tracking their package or booking a cab. A user interacts with a bot to resolve their intent. In bot design, intents and utterances form the basis of a dialog model. Example intents: Pay bill, Open account, Exchange rate.

Utterances are phrases or sentences that users would use to describe what they want to do. The bot tries to understand and identify the user’s intent from these utterances. A user can say: “I need a room for tomorrow” or “I want to book a room for tomorrow.” Both utterances convey the same intention: book a room for tomorrow. Another utterance might be: “Book me a suite for three nights starting tomorrow.”
