On 1 October 2025, Language Understanding (LUIS) will be retired. Before that date, please migrate to conversational language understanding, a capability of Azure Cognitive Services for Language. Conversational language understanding provides many of the capabilities of LUIS, plus enhancements such as:
Enhanced AI quality using state-of-the-art machine learning models
Multilingual capabilities that allow you to train in one language and predict in others
Built-in routing between conversational language understanding and custom question answering projects using orchestration workflow
Access to a suite of features available on Azure Cognitive Services for Language
Beginning 1 April 2023, you won't be able to create new Language Understanding (LUIS) resources. All Language Understanding resources created before that date will be supported until 1 October 2025.
