Building an intent to capture user requests can be a complex task because the task requires you to build utterances and slots. Luckily, Alexa provides built-in intents that you can utilize without having to do lots of upfront work. You can find many of the built-in intents at https://amzn.to/2xgf3j8. In this section, you will take advantage of AMAZON.HelpIntent, which gets triggered when the user says alexa ask henry's kitchen help me. From the server, you will be able to capture the help intent by filtering the request for req.body.request.type === 'IntentRequest' && req.body.request.intent.name === 'AMAZON.HelpIntent'. You can further enhance the help intent by adding your own utterances from the Alexa skill builder console.
