The document discusses the growth of intelligent voice assistants like Alexa and their capabilities. It explains that the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) allows developers to create skills for Alexa using APIs, tools and documentation. It also describes how Alexa uses natural language processing and sends recordings to Amazon servers for analysis to understand user requests.

5.  The past decade has been dominated by touch
screen devices, but a new revolution is brewing
voice-controlled systems powered by artificial
Intelligence
 Instead of controlling everything via apps, we’ll
be talking to virtual assistants to control everything
from our computers to our home lighting.

7.  ASK is a collection of self-service APIs, tools,
documentation, and code samples that makes it
fast and easy for you to add skills to Alexa.
 Amazon allows developers to build and publish
skills for Alexa using the Alexa Skills Kit.
 Alexa has 3 types of skills.

10.  Natural Language Processing, usually
shortened as NLP, is a branch of artificial
intelligence.
 It’s deal with the interaction between
computers and humans using the natural
language.

11.  Amazon records your words.
 Indeed, interpreting sounds takes up a lot of
computational power.
 The recording of your speech is sent to
Amazon’s servers to be analyzed more
efficiently.
 Amazon’s servers send the information back
to your device and Alexa may speak.

12.  If we can use Affective computing in Alex’s
NLP then we can get better adding skills.
