Why Google Home has a lot of catching up to do
Summary
“Today, we have a vibrant community of tens of thousands of developers who are learning about the service, bringing useful and innovative skills to every aspect of Alexa customers’ lives, and introducing their own users to the magic and simplicity of hands-free, voice-driven interactions. “We’ve been thrilled with our experience building a skill for Alexa, which brings Domino’s ordering capabilities and pizza tracking to our customers with a simple voice command. Bringing this increased functionality to our open platform makes it even easier for our users to create customizable solutions that solve real problems.” Uber, a global transportation network company, is leveraging ASK to easily let customers order a ride without using a device. We look forward to watching that number grow as even more users experience the convenience and comfort of Haiku and Alexa.” Genady Okrain is using ASK to help stop people from missing the Caltrain. Since the launch of ASK, Amazon has added new features to make it easier to create Alexa skills including new built-in intents and slots, account linking, and audio clips.
