Can I add my own custom routing patterns?

Yes, you can extend the router's capabilities by adding custom triggers and target skills in your local routing configuration file.

Does it understand the context of our conversation?

Yes, the router tracks conversational context, allowing it to accurately interpret follow-up requests and improve routing accuracy based on recent activity.

What happens if my request is ambiguous?

If confidence is medium or low, the router will present you with the most likely options or ask for clarification to ensure the correct workflow is triggered.

How does the nl-router decide which skill to use?

It uses a confidence scoring system that parses action verbs and objects, matching them against predefined patterns to ensure high-precision routing.
