Designing Voice User Interfaces for Amazon Alexa
summary
Explains how an Alexa skill maps utterances, slots and intents to JSON requests and shows a working property‑valuation skill that confirms a parsed free‑text address, returns a $728,000 estimate with a $630k–$825k range, and uses the built‑in yes/no intents and launch vs intent requests to keep sessions alive. Covers common pitfalls (numbers parsed as digits, phone formatting), adds speech tuning with SSML, and boosts engagement by embedding audio tags for sound effects.
