Using two intents in a stories with 'or'

Rasa Open Source

Is it possible to create stories like this:

or:
    Intent A
    Intent B: conditioned on a slot is filled
action: action_A

So we want to use intent A or Intent B (if a intent fills a slot) to initiate a story.

Also in a story can we condition on if an entity is detected in the intent. Example:

- story: parts query result not found, done
  steps:
    - intent: intent_A
    - entities_found: 
       - name: true/false

I am asking this, because the story demands that the intent should have name entity/slot. I do not want slot to be auto-filled from entity ‘name’. If entities are not allowed in story: I can autofill slot, and validate is later.

@ashek1520 Yes, you can use the Or: for the stories with two different intent for your first question. Please see this reference, I’m sure you already seen it :slight_smile: Stories

@ashek1520 I’m not sure about the second question, and never seen this entities_found: but on the other hand if you are looking for intent and then detect the entities please see this reference: Stories Even you can set the slot for the same if you required.

Can you share the link or idea you have taken for entities_found: me just curious about this. Thanks.

Thanks @nik202 for the first question, I have used or before. or can be used in two possibilities: Or of multiple inents and/or or of multiple slots. I wanted to try nested or. Example:

# pseudo code
  - or:
    - intent: medicine_query
    - intent: information
    - slot_was_set:
        - name: medicine  <-- slot is set during 'information' intent only
   - action: medicine_form

In words: I want to run medicine_form if the (intent is medicine_query) or (if intent ‘information’ is initiated with slot medicine). I guess Rasa does not provide this option, but I found an alternate way using entities, as

- story: strory
  steps:
    - or:
      - intent: medicine_query
      - intent: information
        entities:
          - medicine: something
    - action: medicine_form

About the second question: I got the answer from your link, I needed to use '-entities` as follow,

- intent: inform                        
    entities:
    - location: "rome"  
- intent: - action: utter_on_it
