Hi,

Let’s assume that we have many intents in nlu and some conversations can include more than 15 of these intents, the order of those intents can change at each time. I mean, if we try to create stories for each possible order, it will end up with thousands of stories.

For example, the have travel guide chatbot. The user has different intents in a single conversation, and we don’t have any such story with exact or similar order of this conversation (like below). One story for each possible order is not reasonable

**How can the bot handle this conversation without a mistake?**** What is the best way to handle all combinations of multiple intents in a single conversation?**

CONVERSATION SAMPLE:

**User** : I **would like to go to Austin** this weekend.

Bot: Great, would like me to book a ticket?

**User** : please make **a hotel reservation** first

Bot: Form (here we started a form to collect information for reservation)

Bot: Your reservation has been completed.

**User** : and, **rent a car** , please

Bot: … it is done

**User** : sorry, can we **extend the hotel reservation**?

Bot: let me check… yes

User: please extend for 2 more days

Bot: … extended

**User** : how is **the weather** on trip days?

**User** : could you please **order an umbrella** for me?

**User** : please **change the color** as blue
