Chatbot Integrating Derived User Intent

A method provides information to a user as a function of derived user intent. The method includes receiving input from a user, generating an intent vector by processing the received input though an artificial intelligence model that has been trained with data representative of the user's intention, wherein the intent vector comprises a probability for each intent in a known set of possible intents, executing a trigger control model to determine whether to respond to the user as a function of the input from the user and the intent vector, utilizing the trigger control model, received input, and intent vector input to generate a response via a trained chatbot, and providing the response via an output device.
