How to Program a Conversation with Alexa (Python & AWS Lambda) - Part 2

The second part in developing Alexa skills in Python. In this video we go through intent slots, debugging, and storing session attributes. You should be able to create the conversation that I had at the start of part 1 after this video. At the end I briefly mention how to get it set up on your physical device and installing external libraries.

Source Code:

Part 1:

To use external libraries in AWS Lambda:

What you need to do to fix this issue is install the library locally and then upload it in a zip folder to AWS lambda with your actual python file.

Hi Keith,
How to approach the problem below
I have to create a reusable library that can convert a paragraph of spoken english to written english. For example, "two dollars" should be converted to $2. Abbreviations spoken as "C M" or "Triple A" should be written as "CM" and "AAA" respectively.

Does anyone know if we can program Alexa to ask a follow up question and wait for a response? Then use the response to run more code?

[nogxx]

I have a question about the code template that you used. Did you write it yourself and may I use it for any of my own projects? And if not, where did you get it from? I'm trying to create a little interactive story for the Amazon alexa games skills challange. Thanks!
