How Dialogflow Works​

Dialogflow uses machine learning to understand the meaning behind user input:

  1. Training - Define intents (what users want) and provide training phrases
  2. Entity Extraction - Identify key parameters like dates, names, locations
  3. Intent Matching - Match user input to trained intents with confidence scores
  4. Context Management - Track conversation state across multiple turns
  5. Fulfillment - Trigger actions or return responses based on detected intent

Best Practices​

  • Design Clear Intents - Create specific, well-defined intents for different user goals
  • Use Training Phrases - Provide diverse examples of how users might express each intent
  • Leverage Entities - Define entities for consistent parameter extraction
  • Handle Fallbacks - Configure fallback intents for unrecognized inputs
  • Test Thoroughly - Use Dialogflow's testing tools before deploying to production
  • Monitor Confidence - Review low-confidence detections to improve training
  • Manage Sessions - Use consistent session IDs for multi-turn conversations
