# Intent identification AI agent

# Intent identification AI agent {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
This AI agent analyzes and identifies the input email body intent. A list of admin-configured intents are compared with the input email body for a potential match.

## Workflow {#plat-not-intent-identification-agent-ai-agent__zsmdlwierhjt}

The agent fetches the email body using a given email sys_id.

1. Fetch the email body and execution context for the intent analysis and continue with the next step.
2. Check for malicious attempts, such as prompt injections.
3. Analyze the input to determine the overall thread context and the latest sender's goal, which can represent either an actionable request, expression, statement, or interest. The email body can include a conversation or email thread involving multiple participants.
4. Perform intent analysis to evaluate whether a given input utterance semantically matches an intent from an admin-configured list.
