The flow of information or exchange of messages guided by an awareness of intent and context is commonly referred to as "intent-driven communication" or an "intent-driven flow." This concept involves understanding the purpose or goal behind each message (the intent) and using the surrounding circumstances (the context) to guide how information is exchanged. In practical applications, especially in AI and conversational systems, this is known as intent extraction or intent-based communication , where the system identifies what the user intends to achieve and responds accordingly to maintain a meaningful and context-aware dialogue

. In broader communication theory, this aligns with a communication process that is dynamic and context-sensitive, ensuring messages are encoded, transmitted, and decoded with an awareness of the sender’s and receiver’s intent and the situational context

. Thus, the term you are looking for is best described as intent-driven communication or intent-guided information flow.
