Language Understanding (LUIS) provides simple tools that enable you to build your own custom language models, allowing any application or bot to understand your commands and act accordingly.

 

Language Understanding (LUIS) now has an updated user interface with up to 500 intents (action identified in a sentence), 100 entities (information extracted to complete the task associated to the intent), additional language features, and is now available in seven more regions.
