Using Intent Detection for Advanced Choice Recognition
Intents can also be used as the value to be able to catch variations of answers, and are manage in the NLU page. This is really useful for channels that don't support inline buttons like text messaging, where people type similar, yet not exact answers.
You can accomplish this by adding intent:INTENT_NAME as a value to your choice skill. Then, make sure your INTENT_NAME exists in the NLU > Intents menu and has utterances.
