# Intent executor AI agent

This AI agent executes admin-defined actions, such as workflows or creating reply responses based on matched intent.

## Workflow

The agent cannot analyze or compare the intent, nor can it generate an email or email draft itself.

1.  Find intent matches.
2.  Extract values from input and create JSON.
3.  Validate the execution payload JSON.
4.  After successfully executing all subflow actions, fetch the email actions that match the intent or fetch the default email actions if there is no intent match.
5.  Generate email.
