More about Entities:

Entities are valuable pieces of data that chatbots extract from user input to provide more contextually relevant responses. While intents can be thought of as the verb in a user's query, entities can be seen as the noun. For instance, in the query "Book a flight to Paris", "Paris" is an entity representing a destination.

Entities help in refining the chatbot's understanding of user input, ensuring that responses are tailored to the user's specific needs.
