Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

Amazon Lex is an AWS service for building conversational voice and text interfaces. Use these actions to create, update, and delete conversational bots for new and existing client applications.

Sending a Request Using LexModelBuildingService

var lexmodelbuildingservice = new AWS.LexModelBuildingService();
lexmodelbuildingservice.createBotVersion(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the LexModelBuildingService object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var lexmodelbuildingservice = new AWS.LexModelBuildingService({apiVersion: '2017-04-19'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the lexmodelbuildingservice service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  lexmodelbuildingservice: '2017-04-19',
  // other service API versions
};

var lexmodelbuildingservice = new AWS.LexModelBuildingService();

Method Details

createBotVersion(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a new version of the bot based on the $LATEST version. If the $LATEST version of this resource hasn't changed since you created the last version, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last created version.

Note: You can update only the $LATEST version of the bot. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the CreateBotVersion operation.

When you create the first version of a bot, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see versioning-intro.

This operation requires permission for the lex:CreateBotVersion action.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createBotVersion operation

var params = {
  name: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  checksum: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
lexmodelbuildingservice.createBotVersion(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • name — (String)

      The name of the bot that you want to create a new version of. The name is case sensitive.

    • checksum — (String)

      Identifies a specific revision of the $LATEST version of the bot. If you specify a checksum and the $LATEST version of the bot has a different checksum, a PreconditionFailedException exception is returned and Amazon Lex doesn't publish a new version. If you don't specify a checksum, Amazon Lex publishes the $LATEST version.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

createIntentVersion(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a new version of an intent based on the $LATEST version of the intent. If the $LATEST version of this intent hasn't changed since you last updated it, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last version you created.

Note: You can update only the $LATEST version of the intent. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the CreateIntentVersion operation.

When you create a version of an intent, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see versioning-intro.

This operation requires permissions to perform the lex:CreateIntentVersion action.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createIntentVersion operation

var params = {
  name: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  checksum: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
lexmodelbuildingservice.createIntentVersion(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred

Creates a new version of a slot type based on the $LATEST version of the specified slot type. If the $LATEST version of this resource has not changed since the last version that you created, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last version that you created.

Note: You can update only the $LATEST version of a slot type. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the CreateSlotTypeVersion operation.

When you create a version of a slot type, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see versioning-intro.

This operation requires permissions for the lex:CreateSlotTypeVersion action.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createSlotTypeVersion operation

var params = {
  name: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  checksum: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
lexmodelbuildingservice.createSlotTypeVersion(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • name — (String)

      The name of the slot type that you want to create a new version for. The name is case sensitive.

    • checksum — (String)

      Checksum for the $LATEST version of the slot type that you want to publish. If you specify a checksum and the $LATEST version of the slot type has a different checksum, Amazon Lex returns a PreconditionFailedException exception and doesn't publish the new version. If you don't specify a checksum, Amazon Lex publishes the $LATEST version.

After your users have used your bot for a while, use the GetUtterancesView operation to see the requests that they have made and whether they have been successful. You might find that the utterance "I want flowers" is not being recognized. You could add this utterance to the OrderFlowers intent so that your bot recognizes that utterance.

After you publish a new version of a bot, you can get information about the old version and the new so that you can compare the performance across the two versions.

Note: Utterance statistics are generated once a day. Data is available for the last 15 days. You can request information for up to 5 versions in each request. The response contains information about a maximum of 100 utterances for each version.

This operation requires permissions for the lex:GetUtterancesView action.

putBot(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates an Amazon Lex conversational bot or replaces an existing bot. When you create or update a bot you are only required to specify a name, a locale, and whether the bot is directed toward children under age 13. You can use this to add intents later, or to remove intents from an existing bot. When you create a bot with the minimum information, the bot is created or updated but Amazon Lex returns the response FAILED. You can build the bot after you add one or more intents. For more information about Amazon Lex bots, see how-it-works.

If you specify the name of an existing bot, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the $LATEST version of the bot. Amazon Lex removes any fields that you don't provide values for in the request, except for the idleTTLInSeconds and privacySettings fields, which are set to their default values. If you don't specify values for required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception.

This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutBot action. For more information, see auth-and-access-control.

};
lexmodelbuildingservice.putBot(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • name — (String)

      The name of the bot. The name is not case sensitive.

    • description — (String)

      A description of the bot.

    • intents — (Array<map>)

      An array of Intent objects. Each intent represents a command that a user can express. For example, a pizza ordering bot might support an OrderPizza intent. For more information, see how-it-works.

      • intentName — required — (String)

        The name of the intent.

      • intentVersion — required — (String)

        The version of the intent.

    • clarificationPrompt — (map)

      When Amazon Lex doesn't understand the user's intent, it uses this message to get clarification. To specify how many times Amazon Lex should repeate the clarification prompt, use the maxAttempts field. If Amazon Lex still doesn't understand, it sends the message in the abortStatement field.

      When you create a clarification prompt, make sure that it suggests the correct response from the user. for example, for a bot that orders pizza and drinks, you might create this clarification prompt: "What would you like to do? You can say 'Order a pizza' or 'Order a drink.'"

      • messages — required — (Array<map>)

        An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

        • contentType — required — (String)

          The content type of the message string.

          Possible values include:
          • "PlainText"
          • "SSML"
          • "CustomPayload"
        • content — required — (String)

          The text of the message.

        • groupNumber — (Integer)

          Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

      • maxAttempts — required — (Integer)

        The number of times to prompt the user for information.

      • responseCard — (String)

        A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the PostText API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see ex-resp-card.

    • abortStatement — (map)

      When Amazon Lex can't understand the user's input in context, it tries to elicit the information a few times. After that, Amazon Lex sends the message defined in abortStatement to the user, and then aborts the conversation. To set the number of retries, use the valueElicitationPrompt field for the slot type.

      For example, in a pizza ordering bot, Amazon Lex might ask a user "What type of crust would you like?" If the user's response is not one of the expected responses (for example, "thin crust, "deep dish," etc.), Amazon Lex tries to elicit a correct response a few more times.

      For example, in a pizza ordering application, OrderPizza might be one of the intents. This intent might require the CrustType slot. You specify the valueElicitationPrompt field when you create the CrustType slot.

      • messages — required — (Array<map>)

        A collection of message objects.

        • contentType — required — (String)

          The content type of the message string.

          Possible values include:
          • "PlainText"
          • "SSML"
          • "CustomPayload"
        • content — required — (String)

          The text of the message.

        • groupNumber — (Integer)

          Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

      • responseCard — (String)

        At runtime, if the client is using the PostText API, Amazon Lex includes the response card in the response. It substitutes all of the session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card.

    • idleSessionTTLInSeconds — (Integer)

      The maximum time in seconds that Amazon Lex retains the data gathered in a conversation.

      A user interaction session remains active for the amount of time specified. If no conversation occurs during this time, the session expires and Amazon Lex deletes any data provided before the timeout.

      For example, suppose that a user chooses the OrderPizza intent, but gets sidetracked halfway through placing an order. If the user doesn't complete the order within the specified time, Amazon Lex discards the slot information that it gathered, and the user must start over.

      If you don't include the idleSessionTTLInSeconds element in a PutBot operation request, Amazon Lex uses the default value. This is also true if the request replaces an existing bot.

      The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

    • voiceId — (String)

      The Amazon Polly voice ID that you want Amazon Lex to use for voice interactions with the user. The locale configured for the voice must match the locale of the bot. For more information, see Available Voices in the Amazon Polly Developer Guide.

    • checksum — (String)

      Identifies a specific revision of the $LATEST version.

      When you create a new bot, leave the checksum field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a BadRequestException exception.

      When you want to update a bot, set the checksum field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the $LATEST version. If you don't specify the checksum field, or if the checksum does not match the $LATEST version, you get a PreconditionFailedException exception.

    • processBehavior — (String)

      If you set the processBehavior element to BUILD, Amazon Lex builds the bot so that it can be run. If you set the element to SAVE Amazon Lex saves the bot, but doesn't build it.

      If you don't specify this value, the default value is BUILD.

      Possible values include:
      • "SAVE"
      • "BUILD"
    • locale — (String)

      Specifies the target locale for the bot. Any intent used in the bot must be compatible with the locale of the bot.

      The default is en-US.

      Possible values include:
      • "en-US"
      • "en-GB"
      • "de-DE"
    • childDirected — (Boolean)

      For each Amazon Lex bot created with the Amazon Lex Model Building Service, you must specify whether your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by specifying true or false in the childDirected field. By specifying true in the childDirected field, you confirm that your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA. By specifying false in the childDirected field, you confirm that your use of Amazon Lex is not related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA. You may not specify a default value for the childDirected field that does not accurately reflect whether your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA.

      If your use of Amazon Lex relates to a website, program, or other application that is directed in whole or in part, to children under age 13, you must obtain any required verifiable parental consent under COPPA. For information regarding the use of Amazon Lex in connection with websites, programs, or other applications that are directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13, see the Amazon Lex FAQ.

        The date that the bot alias was updated. When you create a resource, the creation date and the last updated date are the same.

      • createdDate — (Date)

        The date that the bot alias was created.

      • checksum — (String)

        The checksum for the current version of the alias.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

putIntent(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates an intent or replaces an existing intent.

To define the interaction between the user and your bot, you use one or more intents. For a pizza ordering bot, for example, you would create an OrderPizza intent.

To create an intent or replace an existing intent, you must provide the following:

  • Intent name. For example, OrderPizza.

  • Sample utterances. For example, "Can I order a pizza, please." and "I want to order a pizza."

  • Information to be gathered. You specify slot types for the information that your bot will request from the user. You can specify standard slot types, such as a date or a time, or custom slot types such as the size and crust of a pizza.

  • How the intent will be fulfilled. You can provide a Lambda function or configure the intent to return the intent information to the client application. If you use a Lambda function, when all of the intent information is available, Amazon Lex invokes your Lambda function. If you configure your intent to return the intent information to the client application.

You can specify other optional information in the request, such as:

  • A confirmation prompt to ask the user to confirm an intent. For example, "Shall I order your pizza?"

  • A conclusion statement to send to the user after the intent has been fulfilled. For example, "I placed your pizza order."

  • A follow-up prompt that asks the user for additional activity. For example, asking "Do you want to order a drink with your pizza?"

If you specify an existing intent name to update the intent, Amazon Lex replaces the values in the $LATEST version of the intent with the values in the request. Amazon Lex removes fields that you don't provide in the request. If you don't specify the required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception. When you update the $LATEST version of an intent, the status field of any bot that uses the $LATEST version of the intent is set to NOT_BUILT.

For more information, see how-it-works.

This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutIntent action.

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • name — (String)

      The name of the intent. The name is not case sensitive.

      The name can't match a built-in intent name, or a built-in intent name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in intent called AMAZON.HelpIntent, you can't create a custom intent called HelpIntent.

      For a list of built-in intents, see Standard Built-in Intents in the Alexa Skills Kit.

    • description — (String)

      A description of the intent.

    • slots — (Array<map>)

      An array of intent slots. At runtime, Amazon Lex elicits required slot values from the user using prompts defined in the slots. For more information, see how-it-works.

      • name — required — (String)

        The name of the slot.

      • description — (String)

        A description of the slot.

      • slotConstraint — required — (String)

        Specifies whether the slot is required or optional.

        Possible values include:
        • "Required"
        • "Optional"
      • slotType — (String)

        The type of the slot, either a custom slot type that you defined or one of the built-in slot types.

      • slotTypeVersion — (String)

        The version of the slot type.

      • valueElicitationPrompt — (map)

        The prompt that Amazon Lex uses to elicit the slot value from the user.

        • messages — required — (Array<map>)

          An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

          • contentType — required — (String)

            The content type of the message string.

            Possible values include:
            • "PlainText"
            • "SSML"
            • "CustomPayload"
          • content — required — (String)

            The text of the message.

          • groupNumber — (Integer)

            Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

        • maxAttempts — required — (Integer)

          The number of times to prompt the user for information.

        • responseCard — (String)

          A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the PostText API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see ex-resp-card.

      • priority — (Integer)

        Directs Lex the order in which to elicit this slot value from the user. For example, if the intent has two slots with priorities 1 and 2, AWS Lex first elicits a value for the slot with priority 1.

        If multiple slots share the same priority, the order in which Lex elicits values is arbitrary.

      • sampleUtterances — (Array<String>)

        If you know a specific pattern with which users might respond to an Amazon Lex request for a slot value, you can provide those utterances to improve accuracy. This is optional. In most cases, Amazon Lex is capable of understanding user utterances.

      • responseCard — (String)

        A set of possible responses for the slot type used by text-based clients. A user chooses an option from the response card, instead of using text to reply.

    • sampleUtterances — (Array<String>)

      An array of utterances (strings) that a user might say to signal the intent. For example, "I want {PizzaSize} pizza", "Order {Quantity} {PizzaSize} pizzas".

      In each utterance, a slot name is enclosed in curly braces.

    • confirmationPrompt — (map)

      Prompts the user to confirm the intent. This question should have a yes or no answer.

      Amazon Lex uses this prompt to ensure that the user acknowledges that the intent is ready for fulfillment. For example, with the OrderPizza intent, you might want to confirm that the order is correct before placing it. For other intents, such as intents that simply respond to user questions, you might not need to ask the user for confirmation before providing the information.

      Note: You you must provide both the rejectionStatement and the confirmationPrompt, or neither.
      • messages — required — (Array<map>)

        An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

        • contentType — required — (String)

          The content type of the message string.

          Possible values include:
          • "PlainText"
          • "SSML"
          • "CustomPayload"
        • content — required — (String)

          The text of the message.

        • groupNumber — (Integer)

          Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

      • maxAttempts — required — (Integer)

        The number of times to prompt the user for information.

      • responseCard — (String)

        A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the PostText API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see ex-resp-card.

    • rejectionStatement — (map)

      When the user answers "no" to the question defined in confirmationPrompt, Amazon Lex responds with this statement to acknowledge that the intent was canceled.

      Note: You must provide both the rejectionStatement and the confirmationPrompt, or neither.
      • messages — required — (Array<map>)

        A collection of message objects.

        • contentType — required — (String)

          The content type of the message string.

          Possible values include:
          • "PlainText"
          • "SSML"
          • "CustomPayload"
        • content — required — (String)

          The text of the message.

        • groupNumber — (Integer)

          Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

      • responseCard — (String)

        At runtime, if the client is using the PostText API, Amazon Lex includes the response card in the response. It substitutes all of the session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card.

    • followUpPrompt — (map)

      Amazon Lex uses this prompt to solicit additional activity after fulfilling an intent. For example, after the OrderPizza intent is fulfilled, you might prompt the user to order a drink.

      The action that Amazon Lex takes depends on the user's response, as follows:

      • If the user says "Yes" it responds with the clarification prompt that is configured for the bot.

      • if the user says "Yes" and continues with an utterance that triggers an intent it starts a conversation for the intent.

      • If the user says "No" it responds with the rejection statement configured for the the follow-up prompt.

      • If it doesn't recognize the utterance it repeats the follow-up prompt again.

      The followUpPrompt field and the conclusionStatement field are mutually exclusive. You can specify only one.

      • prompt — required — (map)

        Prompts for information from the user.

        • messages — required — (Array<map>)

          An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

          • contentType — required — (String)

            The content type of the message string.

            Possible values include:
            • "PlainText"
            • "SSML"
            • "CustomPayload"
          • content — required — (String)

            The text of the message.

          • groupNumber — (Integer)

            Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

        • maxAttempts — required — (Integer)

          The number of times to prompt the user for information.

        • responseCard — (String)

          A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the PostText API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see ex-resp-card.

      • rejectionStatement — required — (map)

        If the user answers "no" to the question defined in the prompt field, Amazon Lex responds with this statement to acknowledge that the intent was canceled.

putSlotType(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a custom slot type or replaces an existing custom slot type.

To create a custom slot type, specify a name for the slot type and a set of enumeration values, which are the values that a slot of this type can assume. For more information, see how-it-works.

If you specify the name of an existing slot type, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the $LATEST version of the slot type. Amazon Lex removes the fields that you don't provide in the request. If you don't specify required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception. When you update the $LATEST version of a slot type, if a bot uses the $LATEST version of an intent that contains the slot type, the bot's status field is set to NOT_BUILT.

This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutSlotType action.

  enumerationValues: [
     {
    value: "red"
   }, 
     {
    value: "white"
   }
  ]
 };
 lexmodelbuildingservice.putSlotType(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   /*
   data = {

       {
      value: "red"
     }, 
       {
      value: "white"
     }
    ], 
    lastUpdatedDate: <Date Representation>
   }
   */
 });

Calling the putSlotType operation

var params = {
  name: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  checksum: 'STRING_VALUE',
  createVersion: true || false,
  description: 'STRING_VALUE',
  enumerationValues: [
    {
      value: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      synonyms: [
        'STRING_VALUE',
        /* more items */
      ]
    },
    /* more items */
  ],
  valueSelectionStrategy: ORIGINAL_VALUE | TOP_RESOLUTION
};
lexmodelbuildingservice.putSlotType(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • name — (String)

      The name of the slot type. The name is not case sensitive.

      The name can't match a built-in slot type name, or a built-in slot type name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in slot type called AMAZON.DATE, you can't create a custom slot type called DATE.

      For a list of built-in slot types, see Slot Type Reference in the Alexa Skills Kit.

    • description — (String)

      A description of the slot type.

    • enumerationValues — (Array<map>)

      A list of EnumerationValue objects that defines the values that the slot type can take. Each value can have a list of synonyms, which are additional values that help train the machine learning model about the values that it resolves for a slot.

      When Amazon Lex resolves a slot value, it generates a resolution list that contains up to five possible values for the slot. If you are using a Lambda function, this resolution list is passed to the function. If you are not using a Lambda function you can choose to return the value that the user entered or the first value in the resolution list as the slot value. The valueSelectionStrategy field indicates the option to use.

      • value — required — (String)

        The value of the slot type.

      • synonyms — (Array<String>)

        Additional values related to the slot type value.

    • checksum — (String)

      Identifies a specific revision of the $LATEST version.

      When you create a new slot type, leave the checksum field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a BadRequestException exception.

      When you want to update a slot type, set the checksum field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the $LATEST version. If you don't specify the checksum field, or if the checksum does not match the $LATEST version, you get a PreconditionFailedException exception.

    • valueSelectionStrategy — (String)

      Determines the slot resolution strategy that Amazon Lex uses to return slot type values. The field can be set to one of the following values:

      • ORIGINAL_VALUE - Returns the value entered by the user, if the user value is similar to the slot value.

      • TOP_RESOLUTION - If there is a resolution list for the slot, return the first value in the resolution list as the slot type value. If there is no resolution list, null is returned.

      If you don't specify the valueSelectionStrategy, the default is ORIGINAL_VALUE.

      Possible values include:
      • "ORIGINAL_VALUE"
      • "TOP_RESOLUTION"
    • createVersion — (Boolean)
