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?
