You can import intents for watson conversation in CSV format, but there doesn't appear to be a way to export them (and really, I'm looking for the exact format that is needed to import them, but I would also like to know how to export).
There is no direct way to export. The best way to do it is to go to your project menu, and export as JSON.
After that, if you check in the JSON file, you will find the questions and intents. You can also get access to your entities this way as well (easier way to import entities).
example:
"intents":[{
"intent":"conditions",
"created":"2016-08-17T12:52:08.806Z",
"examples":[{
"text":"Are the winds dangerous?",
"created":"2016-08-17T12:52:08.859Z"
},
{
"text":"Are we expecting sunny conditions?",
"created":"2016-08-17T12:52:08.859Z"
},
{
"text":"How much rain will fall today?",
"created":"2016-08-17T12:52:08.859Z"
},
{
"text":"How much snow are we expecting?",
"created":"2016-08-17T12:52:08.859Z"
},
