On this page entities can be created, exported and managed.

What is an Entity?

An entity is a collection of similar objects. By training entities your bot can detect specific objects a user asks in the conversation. This enables bots to understand more and use entities in bot logic. The Blits platform currently support four types of entities:

• Pre-built entity

• Simple entity

• Closed list entity

• Regex entity

Two examples

• a 'laptop', 'notebook' and 'computer' are all ‘IT products’.

• ‘Rotterdam’, ‘Amsterdam’ and ‘New York’ are all ‘Cities’.

NLP Support

Support for the different types of entities and their function varies per Natural Language Processing (NLP) engines. This table below provides an overview.
