java.lang.Object

com.amazon.speech.slu.Slot

public final class Slot
extends Object

A Slot is part of an Intent that provides arguments need to process the intent This is based on a predefined domain definition, or schema.

For example:

If the user said, "place a reservation for two," with the intent schema:

 {
     "intents":[
         {
             "intent":"ReservationIntent",
             "slots":[
                 {"name":"Seats", "type":"NUMBER"},
             ]
         }
     ]
 }
 

A ReservationIntent Intent would contain a Seats Slot with the value of "2".

A Slot can be null if:

• If what the user said is not in the definition, meaning that it does not match any predefined Slot, or no Slots are defined for the Intent. Example: "place a reservation tonight"
• If the Slot is specified in the domain definition, but the user did not provide enough information in their request. Example: "place a reservation."
