+title: Intent Responses and Whitespace
+---
+
+The [intents repository](https://github.com/home-assistant/intents/) which powers [Assist](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/assist), has had two important changes.
+
+First, data blocks in the intents YAML can now have a `response` key. For example:
+
+```yaml
+language: en
+intents:
+  HassTurnOn:
+    data:
+      - sentences:
+          - "open {name}"
+        response: cover
+```
+
+A response with a matching key must be defined in `responses/<language>/<intent>.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+language: en
+responses:
+  intents:
+    HassTurnOn:
+      cover: "Opened {{ slots.name }}"
+```
+
+Response templates are in the [Jinja2 format](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/), and may access the matched intent's `slots` as well as the `state` of the affected entity.
+
+The second change comes from [hassil](https://github.com/home-assistant/hassil), the parser for our [intent template syntax](/docs/voice/intent-recognition/template-sentence-syntax/). In addition to an 8-10x speed-up in parsing, whitespace inside templates is taken literally.
+
+Previously, a template like `light(s | ing)` would match both "light" and "lighting". Now, "light" and "light ing" would be matched instead due to the extra space around `|`. The correct template would be `light(s|ing)`
