Intent Resolution

Last updated: June 6, 2026

AI Summary

Intent resolution is the process of turning what humans want into what AI systems can search for.

Canonical Definition

The process of translating unstructured human intent into structured queries that AI systems can execute against entity representations. Intent resolution involves extracting constraints, preferences, and context from natural language and mapping them to representational attributes.

Extended Summary

Intent Resolution bridges human intent and machine queries. The process includes constraint extraction (identifying requirements), preference parsing (understanding qualitative desires), context inference (deriving implicit needs), and query structuring (mapping to representational fields). This is a critical component of AI-mediated discovery.
