Intent Mapping Process

Intent Categories

Information-seeking intents
Navigation intents
Action-oriented intents
Comparison and decision-making intents

Intent Taxonomy Development

Primary, secondary, and tertiary intents
Intent relationships and hierarchies
Intent prioritization based on user needs

Mapping Intents to UI Elements

Direct correlations between intents and UI components
Many-to-many relationships between intents and functions
Fallback mechanisms for unmapped intents

Example Intent Map

CompanyOverview Intent

Description: General information about company

Example Queries:

"Tell me about ValueLabs"
"What does ValueLabs do?"
"What is ValueLabs' tagline?"

Response Type: Information

Key Information: Tagline, focus, value proposition

Action Identification

Types of Actions

Information Provision

Static content display
Dynamic content generation
Contextual information

Navigation/Redirection

Page navigation
Section scrolling
Modal/popup display

Data Operations

Form submission
Data retrieval
Filtering and sorting

Action Mapping Methodology

Identifying all possible actions within the application
Categorizing actions by type and complexity
Documenting action requirements and dependencies
Creating a comprehensive action-intent matrix

Handling Multi-Step Actions

Breaking complex actions into manageable steps
Maintaining context across conversation turns
Providing clear guidance and confirmation
Handling interruptions and resuming workflows

Leveraging AiDE Platform Components
