title: Bird Named Entity Recognition API
description: 'The MessageBird Named Entity Recognition (NER) API extracts and parses a fixed set of entities from incoming phrases. A phrase is usually the text from an incoming message of your customer. An entity contains structured information such as person names, time, durations, locations, etc. Going from an unstructured phrase to structured data is helpful for building intelligent conversational systems such as chatbots.
