2. **Specify the Intent**: In the "Specify the Intent" field, enter the type of question or topic you want the AI to recognize. For example, you might add “Interested in signing up” if you want the AI to respond to questions about memberships. See examples below.
3. **Instructions to Bot**: In this field, type the information you’d like the AI Agent to give whenever it detects the specified intent. For example, “You can sign up for a membership by visiting our front desk or through our website’s sign-up page!”
4. **Save**: Click “Save” to apply your custom intent. Your AI Agent will now recognize this specific question or phrase and respond with the information you’ve provided.
