that entity extraction is where it actually gets really really difficult, even for LLMs since people will use 10 different names for the same thing and you'll have to know them ahead of time to handle them all properly. For either BERT based or llm based there's a bit of a need for the system to try to correct and learn those new names unless you require users to put them all in ahead of time. That said i've seen LLMs handle this a lot better with a list of aliases in the prompt for each room and then type of device when playing with home assistant + llm.

It isn't unreasonable to imagine one recognizable intent to be teaching new terminology. That would allow dialogs where the machine doesn't understand the object of the command and the human then says something like "when I say x, I mean the y" and the computer updates the training set for the named entity recognizer and does a quick fine-tuning pass.
