Amazon Lex has introduced a new feature that allows developers to control intent switching during conversations using request attributes.
- Developers can now disable automatic intent switching during slot elicitation
- Prevents unintended switches between intents while gathering user information
- Maintains focused conversations and reduces interruptions
- Particularly useful for complex conversational flows and multi-step interactions
