Very cool, but I find it strange that all of the example phrases on the demo page are much longer than recommended by the API docs (<10 words). Why is this?

9 or 10 words is about the average sentence that we receive, it is just a guideline so that users understand that we aren't going to handle multiple sentences or paragraphs.

Right; the more important thing is that they all have a single intent.

I see. Thanks for your responses.
What happens when you encounter phrases with multiple intents? Is it something you can detect but is difficult to deal with, or is it a best-guess kind of thing where you attempt to obey the "first intent"? Or something else?

#16Wow, this is pretty cool! Could you give a few more examples to get a feel for what kind of results you get (and inputs you can give)?
Take a look at our ruby specs: https://github.com/Maluuba/napi-ruby/blob/master/maluuba_nap... There's nearly a hundred sample sentences and expected outputs -- and they all pass :)
Cool, thank you very much!

#18Would be great if this were a library that can be integrated rather than an api. An api makes things problematic because it provides the kind of functionality that would break an app if it for some reason isn't working. I don't see how it can be viable service for anything other than non-commercial/non-critical projects. Also...no php?
