Add prebuilt models for common usage scenarios

Important

LUIS will be retired on October 1st 2025 and starting April 1st 2023 you will not be able to create new LUIS resources. We recommend migrating your LUIS applications to conversational language understanding to benefit from continued product support and multilingual capabilities.

LUIS includes a set of prebuilt models for quickly adding common, conversational user scenarios. This is a quick and easy way to add abilities to your conversational client application without having to design the models for those abilities.

Entities containing a prebuilt entity token

If you have a machine-learning entity that needs a required feature of a prebuilt entity, add a subentity to the machine-learning entity, then add a required feature of a prebuilt entity.
