PersonName prebuilt entity for a LUIS app

Important

LUIS will be retired on October 1st 2025 and starting April 1st 2023 you will not be able to create new LUIS resources. We recommend migrating your LUIS applications to conversational language understanding to benefit from continued product support and multilingual capabilities.

The prebuilt personName entity detects people names. Because this entity is already trained, you do not need to add example utterances containing personName to the application intents. personName entity is supported in English and Chinese cultures.
