Having the power of voice recognition tied to the web ready at any time is quite powerful and now that Amazon has opened up a developer platform it's even more exciting!\r\n\r\nAmazon has supplied packages for Java and Node.js (tied to the AWS Lamda platform) but I wanted to develop my skills in Go. As I moved through the process making my app work with Amazon's spec, a simple web framework that took care all the heavy lifting on security and crafting the response object formed. I'm looking forward to more Go-based tools getting created and living in this `go-alexa` bucket but for now the `skillserver` is the first tool.\r\n\r\nMike Flynn gave a talk about this library an conversational applications in general at the 2016 Strange Loop Conference: [\"Exploring Conversational Interfaces with Amazon Alexa and Go\"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDdE3PKy6mo)\r\n\r\n### Tools\r\n\r\n* [`skillserver`](skillserver/) - A framework to quickly create a skill web service that handles all of the Amazon requirements.\r\n  * Example: [Jeopardy](skillserver/examples/jeopardy)\r\n\r\n### Future Proposed Tools\r\n\r\n* An Amazon Echo request simulator\r\n* A library for Alexa responses\r\n\r\n### Original Author\r\n\r\nMike Flynn ([@thatmikeflynn](http://twitter.com/thatmikeflynn))\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmikeflynn%2Fgo-alexa","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmikeflynn%2Fgo-alexa","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmikeflynn%2Fgo-alexa/lists"}
