IndyAWS Meetup: March 2021

Agenda:

5:00p - 5:15p: Announcements

5:15p - 5:55p: "Making an Alexa Skill Feel More Natural" by Brian Tarbox
There are a hundred thousand Alexa skills but only a handful are "high engagement".  We'll show how the Premier League skill works to maintain the illusion that the user isn't talking to a computer.  We'll look at the voice interaction code, the Python based Lambda code, and the Skill Dashboard to see how to make any skill better.  For reference, Premier League gets 16,000 invocations a month.   We'll also take a quick look at OBS to see how to make your Zoom presentations more interesting.

5:55p - 6:00p: Closing Notes/Networking in Gather.town
