Understanding Intent
How intent_trigger and intent_router read what a visitor actually means, in plain words you write yourself.
Intent trigger
A true/false branch. You write a free-text description of what you're listening for, "the visitor is asking about pricing or a quote", and the node reads the current message against it. If anything goes wrong reading it, it fails closed to false rather than guessing.
Intent router
The multi-way version: you define a list of routes, each with its own free-text description, and the node picks the single best match, or falls through to a fixed default route if nothing genuinely fits.
