Speaker

Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon. It is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, and other real-time information, such as news.

This session aims to teach attendees how to create an Alexa Skill that can interact with a Drupal Application. You will be surprised on how easy this integration is! Alexa skills are easy to create and easy to manage. This integration will be a huge step up regarding site accessibility performing actions through voice commands.

During this session I will bring my Alexa device for a live demonstration, I will show how to integrate Alexa with Drupal and use voice commands to perform actions with a Drupal application such as:

create content
retrieve content
retrieve information about a user
access site statistics

At the end of the Session the attendee will know how to create the 4 main parts of a Drupal Alexa integration:

Create an Alexa skill
Insert data into Drupal
Retrieve data from Drupal

This will give the attendees unlimited possibility of reusing the knowledge they acquired during the session to create and retrieve data via voice commands.
