Deprecated prebuilt entities in a LUIS app

  • Article

Important

LUIS will be retired on October 1st 2025 and starting April 1st 2023 you will not be able to create new LUIS resources. We recommend migrating your LUIS applications to conversational language understanding to benefit from continued product support and multilingual capabilities.

The following prebuilt entities are deprecated and can't be added to new LUIS apps.

  • Datetime: Existing LUIS apps that use datetime should be migrated to datetimeV2, although the datetime entity continues to function in pre-existing apps that use it.
  • Geography: Existing LUIS apps that use geography is supported until December 2018.
  • Encyclopedia: Existing LUIS apps that use encyclopedia is supported until December 2018.
