# Intention and Entity

When creating a dialogue, the first thing you need to do is define the **Intention** and **Entity**. An **intention** represents the purpose of a user’s input. You define an intent for each type of user request. An **entity** represents a term or object that is relevant to your intents and that provides a specific context for an intent.

Type the word that you wanna used to be your intention and entity (able more than one). Then, Select the word that will be used as the **intention** or **entity** (if you want defined intention you can type on the entity field as intention). You can also delete and edit the intention & entity that has been created. 

For example, if you want to add a dialog about 'Station,' you can include several questions such as 'nearest station' and 'station near Juanda.' Add as many relevant questions as possible for this scenario. 'Station' and 'nearest station' are **Intents**, while 'Juanda' is an **Entity** with the name **location**.

Besides adding the intention and entity one by one, you may add several entities at once in one sentence. This is also known as **Multi Entity**. For example, the nearby station from Juanda at 5 pm. The nearby station is an **Intention**, Juanda is **Entity** name location, and 5.pm is **Entity** name time.
