Alexa, let's build a voice powered app
summary
Builds a working Alexa conference skill using PHP not Lambda, reusing existing Laravel code and the Batman PHP library to handle intents. Implements four concrete features: list upcoming conferences, filter by programming language via a custom slot type, filter by city using Amazon built‑in slots, and simple personalization that stores a name in device‑bound user storage. Uses ngrok for local development, returns Echo Show cards, and demos show the skill responding correctly and passing Amazon review prerequisites.
