<a name="bedrock-agent-intent"></a>

**Note**  
Before you can take advantage of the generative AI features, you must fulfill the following prerequisites  
For information about pricing for using Amazon Bedrock, see [Amazon Bedrock pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/).
Turn on the generative AI capabilities for your bot locale. To do so, follow the steps at [Optimize Lex V2 bot creation and performance by using generative AI](generative-features.md). 

You can take advantage of Amazon Bedrock Agents to handle complex workloads requested by customers without having to go through a comprehensive task definition process. Amazon Lex V2 offers a built-in `AMAZON.BedrockAgentIntent` that you can add to your bot. This intent harnesses generative AI capabilities from Amazon Bedrock by recognizing customer requests, analyzing them, reasoning them, and finally responding. It also has the capability to ask any follow-up questions in order to achieve the task needed (for example, image you defined a retail agent that can check customer’s order status. When the customer asks for order status, agent first requests `customerId` or associated `emailId` to retrieve the details, and finally responds with correct order status). You can also decide to integrate your AMAZON.BedrockAgentIntent with a Bedrock Knowledge Base to directly answer any customer queries.
