Build and Deploy an Amazon Lex Chatbot and Convert it to an Alexa Skill
summary
A step‑by‑step recipe: build an Amazon Lex bot with intents, utterances and three slots (flower type, pickup date, pickup time), back it with a Lambda function for fulfilment, publish the same bot to web and messaging platforms like Slack and Facebook, then export the Lex model as an Alexa Skills Kit JSON and import it into an Alexa skill. The demo orders tulips end‑to‑end and works; note Alexa receives intents/slots only (no full transcription), so separate backends are often practical.
