In this article, I am gonna share my experience of Alexa community meetup which was held on 9 Feb at The Circle.work, Huda City Center, Gurugram.
I am very grateful that I got a chance to meet Jeff Blankenburg, Alexa Evangelist, Amazon US, Amit Jotwani, Sr. Evangelist, Amazon US, and Chris Sheldrick (CEO what3words, London)
In the first talk jeff talks about how every year, the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) grows in capabilities and features. With more than 100,000 published skills, ASK continues to push forward, making new opportunities for developers who want to build engaging voice experiences with Amazon Alexa. In this session, he discussed the latest trends in conversational artificial intelligence, highlight some of the most innovative skills, and provide an overview of everything that has been released in the past year for the ASK, including expansion to Hindi, natural language evaluation, and leaderboards.he also tell how the whole Alexa process works.what are the languages used in backend server.
2nd session is all about reducing friction in Alexa skill, how to improvise Alexa skill content and sparks and who is better than Amit Jotwani to explain all these stuff. Amit also talked about retention. Retention indicates people are using and enjoying your skill, which is a key factor in understanding the short- and long-term value of your skill. In this session, he talked about how the retention mechanisms we can use to keep our customers coming back for more.
