...
To add an intent to the agent, when on the dashboard page of your Dialogflow Agent, click on the '+' sign next to the Intents ' item in the left-hand menu bar.
You can give the intent a name on the top screen and add a couple of variants in which the intent may be worded phrased under Training Phrases'(See below).
...
Such variants may be thought of from the top of your head, or come forward from actual conversations You can think of likely phrase variants yourself to get started. But, more importantly, you may find out about which phrase variants you should add by inspecting actual conversations that your agent has with a user during testing.
Be sure to press the blue 'SAVE' button when you are done. If you have provided over five phrases, Dialogflow will train a classification model that recognizes phrases similar to the training phrases.
For a proper connection to the MARBEL agent, make sure that the exact Intent name is given as a title in the `Actions 'Actions and parameters' box. The names of the Intents and enitites entities that you can use will also be provided to yousuggested to you in the project instructions.

Adding Entities to a Dialogflow Agent
Entities can be made added by clicking the '+' sign next to Entities ' item in the left-hand menu bar of the dashboard page or CREATE ENTITY at the top.
You can specify entity types (e.g.: 'recipes') and entities specific entity entries (e.g.: 'pasta aglio e olio').
When manually creating entities, be sure to use the synonym functionality to equate words to each othermake sure synonyms are mapped onto the main entity entry word. This is important for the robustness of the agent, since different users will likely may use different words to refer to the same entity.
...
On the right, we see the synonyms or other word versions of entries for southern-american. In the database of recipes, a recipe from South America is coded as ‘southern-american’, which is why the standard name of the entity (the name on the left) is exactly the same. This way, any of the forms to the right that are mentioned by the user will be forwarded to the MARBEL agent as ‘southern-american’, and can be aligned with the database entry.
We shall provide CSV files for some of the entities, so you do not have to manually add the plethora of all entities yourself. This can be used in Dialogflow by going to the main page of entities and clicking on the three vertical dots next to the blue CREATE ENTITY ‘CREATE ENTITY’ button. Click ‘upload entity’ ‘Upload Entity’ and choose the file you wish to upload.
