As of Cognigy.AI 2026.7.0, States are deprecated. The removal of States is planned for Cognigy.AI 2026.12.0. Before the removal, delete your States and retrain your NLU model so it no longer uses state-based Intent masking. For alternative approaches to control Intent recognition, use Intent Conditions.
