I trying to ge a entity from asking a name, now I want to use a form instead of entities eg. Bit: What is you name? possible user answers user: my name is james or user: Jame I want to extract james, I know there is a Lookup but I dont what to use it,
any ideas? my goal is not to use lookup and extract jame from “my name in jame”

@dominicdev create some training data
my name is [james] (name)
[james] (name)
and map it to a slot of type:text. It should work
