Slot

  • Slots are represented in JSON format with fields indicating their mode, status, value, update status, and an optional prompt.

  • Developers can define if a slot is required or optional using the mode field and include a custom prompt to guide user input.

  • The value field in the JSON response allows modification of the slot value, directly impacting the slot filling process.

  • A dedicated prompt field allows overriding the default prompt, offering flexibility in guiding user interactions.
