Intent driven networking holds the promise of simplifying network operations by allowing
operators to use declarative, instead of imperative, interfaces. Adoption of this technology for 5G and
beyond networks is however still in its infancy, where the required architectures, platforms, interfaces and
algorithms are still being discussed. In this work, we present the design and implementation of a novel
intent based platform for private 5G networks powered by a Natural Language Processing (NLP) interface.
We demonstrate how our platform simplifies network operations in three relevant private network use
cases, including: i) an intent based slice provisioning use case, ii) an intent based positioning use case, and
iii) an intent based service deployment use case. Finally, all use cases are benchmarked in terms of intent
provisioning time.
