Ralf Eggert discusses his experience building two Alexa skills using PHP. He describes the technical setup using a custom PHP library and external endpoint server rather than AWS Lambda due to lack of native PHP support. He outlines the development process for each skill, including intents, utterances, certification, and lessons learned. Key challenges included complex voice user interfaces and incomplete custom slot types. Ralf concludes with recommendations such as starting simply, testing thoroughly, and designing sophisticated voice interactions.
