I'm creating an Alexa skill with intents that supports, amongst others, the following utterances:
What lessons does {Mabel} have tomorrow?
Does {Mabel} have any homework?
where "Mabel" is a slot of type AMAZON.GB_FIRST_NAME.
In order to make the skill more conversational, I'd like to support the following:
What lessons does {Mabel} have tomorrow?
Does {she} have any homework?
where "she" is a custom slot that represents Pronoun.
This would require the response to the first question to store Mabel's Id in the session attributes so that when the user subsequently uses a pronoun, the skill could determine the subject of the question.
In theory, this should work. However, because the student-name and the pronoun slot are in the same position within the utterance, Alexa reports "she" as the name; the pronoun slot is never used or resolved.
Therefore, my question is, how can I encourage the pronoun-slot resolution without changing the utterance structure?
