Entities

Entities are structured pieces of information your system can recognize during a conversation, such as names, dates, IDs, or product-specific objects.

They represent meaningful objects in your app’s domain. For example:

  • In a notes app, entities might be documents.
  • In a news site, they might be articles.
  • In an online store, they might be products.

When referenced, entities can link messages to real data and power richer actions and previews.
