Manual annotation is time-consuming and error-prone, hindering progress for smaller AI teams. This work presents a novel Dialog Annotation Methodology and a ready-to-use adaptable software tool offering automatic annotation. The automatic annotation model is based on a cascade of Machine Learning and Large Language Model annotation to annotate entities and intentions in natural language dialogs. } }
