From the Microsoft Project Oxford Speech API link:

Speech Intent Recognition

... the server returns structured information about the incoming speech so that apps can easily parse the intent of the speaker, and subsequently drive further action. Models trained by the Project Oxford LUIS service are used to generate the intent.

Do others offer something like this?

Microsoft LUIS is almost identical to the intent classification and entity extraction in the Alexa Skills Kit, but it's easier to use because you can pipe in your own text from any source instead of having to use a specific speech recognition engine. LUIS also has a pretty nice web interface that prompts you to label utterances that it's seen that it had trouble with.
