This was a fantastic quick start guide. I'm a 20 year veteran developer and even I get exhausted reading SDK or API documentation. Sometimes the fastest way to learn is to jump right in and this talk allows us to do so. Thanks much.
Am 15 and came here coz I hope to learn coding and programming by myself in 2 years and gift self programmed Alexa to my dad when I get 18 on his bday So I'll wait for three years to watch this video again ☺️
This is an excellent guide. Do you have further information about a wizard type scenario. E.g. ask a question and respond to the answer. Or doing a series of questions and collating the responses to calculate something at the end?
The most fucking helpful video. I am developing how to start a saltwater tank. Probably by the time you reading this it is already out for you to use. I watched this video over 100 times. I do not know anything. I bearly know how to code a 1990s website.
I've followed it to the letter but it won't allow me to test - it is flagging up an unexpected '/' at Row: Col: which is preventing me from saving it :-(
I did this using the code generator. I can't even get the skill to open during the test, much less to the dialog portion. I only get "There was a problem with the requested skill's response." It also seems like the fallbackIntent is no longer a built-in intent. Is there a way to add the built-in intents?
same! i followed every step in this video (except i used bubble tea) and while testing, it only responds with "There was a problem with the requested skill's response". HELP 🙏🏽
I have just used a code generator yesterday. There are some dependency and method level changes, because of that, it is showing the error. I hope they will update the code generator to support the latest version. If you are still having the issue, you can check the comment of 'daniel_san uk'. I had also performed the same steps and it worked.
for content writers wanting to specialise in voice/convo design, is your best bet to practise building loads of Q&As for different topics as your foundation skill? (or spend as much time learning coding, understanding user psychology, drawing flows etc). Can any writers who've done voice content say whether the main body of work is churning out loads of potential questions and answers on topics - or is it much more varied than that?
here's the Alexa skills kit for python: developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-python/overview.html I'd recommend looking for a community template project when creating a lambda function instead of clicking create blank function.
Thanks for this Guide. But I think it would be so fun if you just add a Front Panel skillset design option. For Example. I will just add what I want and the rest is like Amazon or Alexa will ask and confirm it. Hope this will come soon so that your Alexa will develop soon.
missed the main point of the whole video though. he brushes over it like "and obviously you wouldnt have it hardcoded to say 11pm" so yea then, how do we have that info come from our own data source?
This code generator no longer works. After copy-pasting the generated code, I try it and just keep getting the same response, "There was a problem with the requested skill's response." Using the default skill-fact template I get, "Here's your fact: A year on Mercury is just 88 days long."
const Alexa = require("ask-sdk"); needs to be updated to const Alexa = require("ask-sdk-core"); and const skillBuilder = Alexa.SkillBuilders.standard() needs to be changed to const skillBuilder = Alexa.SkillBuilders.custom(). This did the trick for me. Provided by daniel_san UK.
of course nothing works. node.js really? it's year 2020. the era of zapier and postman and many others. I feel young back in the 70s watching their arhirecture. the dude is awesome but this design...
Ok so I came here to try and link up all my setup lights thinking lets learn a new coding language then I noticed the title sais ‘NodeJS’ wich I’ve been using for 3 years
It's possible you're using the .speak() and .reprompt() which, however your reprompt may be empty " ". Or for specific intents like AMAZON.Stop or AMAZON.Cancel you may not be using .reprompt() response even though the user has requested to end the session
Can anyone explain why I can't write and test an Alexa skill that talks directly to my lambda function anymore? I'm talking about the lambda function that resides in lamba instead of the one in the Alexa Developer Console? This is a move backwards IMHO!
I didnt understand what is the matter, Im really new to it and it seems easily to manage the "design" of the skill and the code on the same place (alexa developer console), instead of going to AWS console to search for your lambdas.
This guy knows what he is doing! Nice!

Wow! Very impressive. :) Learnt a huge amount. I am starting to think what i can build.
Cool video.
( Damn sad I was block at the AWS pay wall. Where you need a debit card )
Thank you this is a very nice and complete tutorial
Now I can write Alexa Trainer on my resume.
This is a great simple description. It could be even shorter though :P
good talk, to the point, thanks man.
Hey, I noticed that you are interested in Alexa. We just released a video on Alexa. Thought you'd want to check it out. Thanks

Good but google assistant is more fast and answers can be get in external resources like internet.
So can Alexa. The functionality isn't limited to the demonstration
@@SourceHades but you would have to manually put the info in alexas database which is time consuming.
Thankyou soo much. It helped me a lot
I’m having a hard time finding the right response template. Where can I find the template you used?
I build alexa skill INTERSTELLAR OCEANS. I just followed this video and I asked a few questions. I do not know coding. It took me two weeks total.
The most fucking helpful video. I am developing how to start a saltwater tank. Probably by the time you reading this it is already out for you to use. I watched this video over 100 times. I do not know anything. I bearly know how to code a 1990s website.
Thanks a lot for this video. It was a eye opener for me. I have a doubt. If I need to use only as a chatbot, how to disable voice?

Is there a guide for the same with python? I want to learn how to create skill with python.
here's the Alexa skills kit for python: developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-python/overview.html
I'd recommend looking for a community template project when creating a lambda function instead of clicking create blank function.
Getting below Error - Please help "Your default endpoint has changed and the code below is no longer hosted by Alexa."
Nicely explained in simplied way

I have created a skill but I want to see that skill in Amazon Alexa app Please tell me how to do it
missed the main point of the whole video though. he brushes over it like "and obviously you wouldnt have it hardcoded to say 11pm" so yea then, how do we have that info come from our own data source?
I have been trying, but it doesn't work.
Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
Impressive!
Anyway we can get paid for coming up with a skill?
nice video
"whats the weather" said Ralph from the Simpsons.
Awesome
how do you unhide a skill that has been hidden
is there any development alexa and an IVR system?

@@prasad5305 This fixed the issue, thanks so much!
Try saying "Alexa open periodic table"
sir i cannot connect the end points. It says skill manifest error.
switch server to Ireland
nothing works... all i get after 18:20 is "There was a problem with the requested skill's response"
Same here, I am not sure what the problem is. If I figure it out I will be sure to let you know
of course nothing works. node.js really? it's year 2020. the era of zapier and postman and many others. I feel young back in the 70s watching their arhirecture. the dude is awesome but this design...
the top comment here says how to fix it. I had the same problem
Ok so I came here to try and link up all my setup lights thinking lets learn a new coding language then I noticed the title sais ‘NodeJS’ wich I’ve been using for 3 years
When i type in the alexa.design/nodesdk takes me to github, is that where it is supposed to go?
Yep, there's links to a ton of sample tutorials there :)
Guys use this method to create skill without coding

Can you tell me why I am getting "session remains open" error feedback from the certification team?
It's possible you're using the .speak() and .reprompt() which, however your reprompt may be empty " ". Or for specific intents like AMAZON.Stop or AMAZON.Cancel you may not be using .reprompt() response even though the user has requested to end the session
Hi!!!....can you help me out of this
how to pick the exact word spoke by the user?
Anyone else have their alexa go off whenever he says alexa
Sorry! :)

@@pedrogaalves Actually, I found the problem. The lambda endpoint was missing in one spot. It was default to the hosted code editor...
i gave a presentation today at university on this, light as possible, but it was well received, but jezus can it get complicated
