Alexa is the name of the Amazon cloud service that powers Echo, the groundbreaking new Amazon device designed around your voice. Echo is always ready — just ask for information, music, news, weather and more. Skills are like apps for Alexa, and provide a new channel for your content and services. Skills let customers use their voices to perform everyday tasks. Skill Builders publish skills in the Alexa Skills Store to reach and delight customers on hundreds of millions of Alexa devices.
Alexa Skill Builder Growth team’s charter is to enable Skill Builders grow their business on Alexa. We do this by building publicly available intelligent web services and intuitive web-based tools that help Skill Builders drive discoverability of their skills, enable natural and seamless interactions between skills and generate revenue. E.g., our name-free interaction (NFI) Toolkit makes it easier for customers to find and open skills without having to remember and say the skill’s name. NFI enables skills to compete for customer's utterances by providing build and runtime signals. We are continuously experimenting with new ways for driving Skill Builder growth and the ones that succeed, we make them publicly available. We are measurably making Alexa smarter, and we need your help to define and build the next generation of capabilities as we shift focus towards trending Large Language Models(LLM).
