# Built-in intents
<a name="built-in-intents"></a>

For common actions, you can use the standard built-in intents library. To create an intent from a built-in intent, choose a built-intent in the console, and give it a new name. The new intent has the configuration of the base intent, such as the sample utterances. 

In the current implementation, you can't do the following: 
+ Add or remove sample utterances from the base intent
+ Configure slots for built-in intents
