Intent understanding

Works out what the customer actually wants before answering or acting

What this capability means

Intent understanding means the agent identifies the customer’s intended request well enough to choose the right source, action, or clarifying question before answering. It is exercised through conversation, not by reading a feature page, and it includes cases where one message contains multiple requests or the request is unclear.

Boundary: It does not judge the downstream task itself, such as fetching information, changing records, or escalating; those are separate capabilities.
