# pychatl is really easy to understand.

# You can defines:
#   - Intents
#   - Entities (with or without variants)
#   - Synonyms
#   - Comments (only at the top level)

# Inside an intent, you got training data.
# Training data can refer to one or more entities and/or synonyms, they will be used
# by generators to generate all possible permutations and training samples.

%[my_intent]
  ~[greet] some training data @[date]
  another training data that uses an @[entity] at @[date#with_variant]

~[greet]
  hi
  hello

# Entities contains available samples and could refer to a synonym.

@[entity]
  some value
  other value
  ~[a synonym]

# Synonyms contains only raw values

~[a synonym]

  another one

# Entities and intents can define arbitrary properties that will be made available
# to generators.
# For snips, `type` and `extensible` are used for example.
