IBM Watson Assistant：如何存储任何类型的输入？

Question

I want to use slots to store a piece of user information inside a variable. This user Information can be anything. Could be a long sentence or just one word or something like bullet points or a numbered list. Really whatever.

However, using slots I always need Watson to check for something and if that's present it will be stored in a variable.

So I guess I have to create a pattern based entity? How would this pattern look like?

Answer 1

I would recommend this doc page from Watson Assistant about expressions for accessing objects . One of the global variables is input . input.text gives you whatever was provided by the user. You can store that in a context variable or process it and only keep parts of it.

Pattern-based entities only help if you are looking for something specific in the input. It could be used to find, eg, an email address or an URI because they adhere to some patterns. As said, for capturing the entire input, just access the global input object and access its text part.
