# Intent Parsing and Routing

### Understanding User Intent

Every intelligent system must understand what the user wants. Intent Parsing means analyzing user input like text or voice to identify their goal or request clearly. MindCP transforms natural language into structured intents so agents know exactly what action to take.

***

### How Intent Parsing Works

User inputs can be complex or unclear. MindCP breaks down inputs into key parts using advanced natural language processing:

| Component  | Description                 | Example                   |
| ---------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Action     | What the user wants to do   | check, schedule, buy      |
| Object     | The target of the action    | portfolio, meeting, asset |
| Parameters | Extra details or conditions | date, amount, frequency   |

The system then creates a clear, standardized intent from these parts.

### Routing: Sending Intent to the Right Place

Once the intent is ready, Routing decides which AI agent or service should handle it. This routing is flexible and smart, supporting:

* Multiple agents specialized in different domains (finance, energy, tasks)
* Adjustments based on user preferences or permissions
* Backup plans if intent is unclear, like asking for clarification or human help

***

### Intent Parsing and Routing Flow

```
User Input --> Intent Parsing --> Intent Structure --> Routing --> Agent / Service --> Response
```

***

### Benefits

* **Precision:** Understands detailed user requests accurately
* **Flexibility:** Works across many fields and applications
* **Scalability:** Manages many agents and services without confusion
* **User Experience:** Connects users quickly to correct actions or answers

***

### Example Scenario

1. User says, "Show me my energy usage last month."
2. The intent parser analyzes the input and identifies the action as **show**, the object as **energy usage**, and the parameter as **last month**.
3. The routing system directs this intent to the **Energy Monitoring Agent**, which specializes in handling energy-related queries.
4. The agent accesses the necessary context and data, compiling the information requested.
5. The user receives a clear and personalized report about their energy consumption for the previous month.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mindcp.ai/technology/system-architecture/intent-parsing-and-routing.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
