# Mapper

Mapper is used to connect user intents and entities to appropriate responses happens. Think of mappers as bridges: they interpret user input, based on the identified intents and entities, and guide the system to the best-suited actions or replies. By configuring mappers, you ensure that your chatbot doesn't just understand the user but also takes meaningful steps in response.
