Disrupt NYC 2016 - API Sponsor Details
Voice enable your project. Delight your audience with a completely new way to interact with your service. Customers don't need to use their hands or eyes, they only have to "ask" and it's at their command, often becoming a daily habit. Natural user interfaces, such as those based on speech, represent the next major disruption in computing. Alexa provides you with an opportunity to take advantage of the new form of interaction. The Alexa Skills Kit is a low-friction way to learn to build for voice. Create your first Alexa skill and add a valuable new "skill" to your developer toolkit. You can get a prototype up and running in under an hour.
