- What it is
- The AWS CloudFormation reference for the intent entity of an Amazon Lex bot. It gives a one-line definition of an intent and lists the settings that describe one, such as its confirmation prompts.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Amazon Web Services documentation, maintained by the vendor. It is a property reference, so it defines the term but does not explain how Amazon Lex recognizes intents from speech.
