Create An Advanced Alexa Skill











About:

Amazon Alexa, known simply as Alexa, is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon, first used in the Echo and the Echo Dot smart speakers.



Most authors are stuck working on the AWS platform where you pay fees to use a service Amazon dictates. We, on the other hand, offers the ability for you to host the skill directly from the hosting you already host your website on. This allows for greater flexibility and the ability to save on costs that you would traditionally accrue using AWS 'pay as you go' model.



Here is a brief example of how it all works.



1. We write a web service (a script) that handles all of the dialogue/logic of the skill. 

2. Upload this web service to your existing website hosting ftp. 

3. Add any database integrations you'd like.

4. Submit for review with the Alexa team. 

5. Get you approved and off to the races.



Yes, it's that simple. The same place you host your Wordpress, Drupal, or Concrete5 website is the same place your skill can live.
