Systems and methods for dynamically expanding natural language processing agent capacity

A system described herein may provide for the adaptation and/or expansion of a natural language processing ("NLP") platform, that supports only a limited quantity of intents, such that the described system may support an unlimited (or nearly unlimited) quantity of intents. For example, a hierarchical structure of agents may be used, where each agent includes multiple intents. A top-level (e.g., master) agent may handle initial user interactions, and may indicate a next-level agent to handle subsequent interactions.
