Create and Submit Your First Amazon Alexa Skill

Create Your First Amazon Alexa Application

In this video series, we'll be creating our very own Amazon Alexa skill. We start off by taking a look at the Amazon Alexa platform and make a very simple novelty application. Feel free to customise this into something much more imaginative! :)

This is one of many Alexa tutorials on the way, and I'd love to know what you think! Do you have any awesome Alexa applications you'd like to see?

[parjanyaroy]

Great tutorial ... one of the least confusing and precise ones among all the others I have seen .. Good job!!

[arifshaik]

Can you please let me know on which programming language you made the code for that???

[ffionquick]

Hi Please could you update with new interface or link to another tutorial ? Ty!

[sndeep]

Thanks for the walk-through! You think this would work even if i'm not in NA? I don't mind higher latency.

Hey Paul, I've copied your code word for word and even compared it to the source file link you put up but I'm still getting the "The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid." error... what more can i do to solve this? Thank you

[rednassie]

Amazon alexa GUI has updated, now it requires a random endpoint or something, can you do a video regarding the new gui?

[Duncans]

can you make a skill for alexa to start my car via the onstar app? Is this something thats possible?

[danny]

Is there a difference between uploading the zip and writing the code in-line?

[chrisnash]

Please Can you create a skill that removes/replaces the Bing search engine with google search engine, cheers.

[legendofstephen]

I keep getting when uploading -
{
"errorMessage": "RequestId: Process exited before completing request"
}

[TinnitusRelief]

do you have the source code up anywhere?

[prakashvizzapu]

instead of zip file can you provide the whole inline code.

[beansgoya]

im getting the error message when I'm testing the skill. The Lambda response says: "the remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid"

I've searched all over the web but still can't find a solution. Any idea what's going on?

[patriziorenelli]

can you help me solve problems with a skill?

[VRWarehouse]

I have gone through the code again and again but I get this error:- The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.

[primestudioandphotoshoot]

errorMessage": "Cannot find module 'alexa-sdk'", how do you package and upload.
