I wanna extract date when intent is "What date is today?"
I got answer to be "Today is {{date}}" and it returned "Today is today" per the log below.

I wish to have answer like "Today is 2023-08-14"... but how?

Below is the log I got....

@al06825 - not an official maintainer / nor a contributor. But pretty familiar with this package.

You need to refer to the NER Manager - Built-in Entites & register a entity extractor. Then you can parse the utterance with your chose of entity extractor to do something like this (assuming the extractor you choose has date supports).

Other than that - read the documentation (the page I linked to) & it should answer your question in full.

Hope this helps! 😄

@al06825 I didn't even realize either! Assuming you the date in that log is correct - you can use the entity for the date by grabbing the JSON value / key with corresponding entity.
