# Intents (Email Assistants)

> Very similar to Conversational Intents, but differs in a few key logics. 

## Overview

An intent consists of:

* **Name** – Identifies the intent.
* **Intent Phrase** – Explains the intent’s purpose and utterances used to recognize user goals.
* **Funnel Down the Emails**– These includes basic and advanced filters.
* **Integration Funnel** – Email channel credentials that you want to connect with.
* **Connected Agent Grpah** – The graph triggered when this intent is matched.

## AI Prompt Generation

Use AI-assisted generation to speed up training phrase creation.\
You can describe your intent naturally and let the system produce the structured output.

**Example Prompt:**

> Generate an intent for users who want to track their order delivery.

The AI will return:

* Suggested name
* Example utterances
* Description
