So, the site has this demo: https://wit.ai/getting-started https://wit.ai/getting-started First two queries it shows are "Turn on the lights" and "Open the door please!" showing how nice the response is. If you combine them in "Turn on the lights and open the door please!" then the reponse ignores the door part completely: { "_text": "Turn on the lights and open the door please!", "confidence": 0.94, "intent": "lights", "entities": { "on_off": [ { "value": "on" } ] } }

"wash the car" , "feed the cat" results in "intent": "tv_onoff", seems wrong for such simple example.

  Sounds like the algorithm was trained by someone with heavy procrastination problems.

  Similarly, when I input "make me a sandwich", I got "tv_onoff" as the intent. I am assuming however, that you can "train" the AI to suit your particular syntax depending on your app and bot's intended purposes. No doubt as more scenarios are fed into Wit's database, the parsing and intent selection will get better?!?

    I typed "Translate how much does that cost to French", which was one of the examples it showed me on the front page (under "Intent Parser", exactly as shown, no quotes), and it still gave me tv_onoff. And "Turn on the TV please" is interpreted as "Turn the TV on to channel 'please'". And don't invite any physicists round, because "Set the temperature to 293 K in my bedroom" results in a "temperature" value of 293000. Still, the docs do indeed say you can train it (for sentiment and yes/no queries, at least, and hopefully other things too).

  could have been worse - it could have come out with "wash the cat", resulting in serious injury!

  Who leaves the tv on when they wash the car and feed the cat? :)
