[This series was created in 2016 and some content may be outdated. However, it explains important voice design concepts that can still be useful when building Alexa skills.]
In this video, “Hello, Alexa!”, we’re going to introduce the Alexa Skills Kit and teach you how to create skills, which are voice driven applications for Alexa. We will build and deploy a basic skill. This skill will be called the “Greeter” skill, and will say hello to users when they invoke the skill using the words that we specify.
Learning Objectives: - Using the AlexaSkill Prototype to implement an Intent - Components of Skill - Skill Interface & Service Configuration - Understanding the Skill Request Cycle - Defining the Interaction Model - Sample Utterances and Intent Schema Definition - Configuring AWS Lambda - Registering a Skill with Alexa - Defining the Invocation Name
