Amazon Alexa Skills vs Google Home Actions the Big Java VUI Faceoff
summary
Live coding builds the same stand-up helper twice: an Alexa Skill wired to AWS Lambda (Java/Groovy, Gradle, S3 deployment) and a Google Action using Dialogflow/API.AI and Google Cloud functions, both calling JIRA for “top defects” pagination. Demos mostly work though some live-device calls fail; Dialogflow handles required-slot prompting and keeps context for two interactions so no back-and-forth state is needed, while Alexa requires explicit server-side session state and code. Outputs use SSML emphasis and both have browser/device simulators for testing. Java code first.
