Preface

The advent of voice computing in recent years has caused a tectonic shift, with the result being that interactive voice-based personal assistants no longer lurk in the shadows, and Amazon Alexa, Siri, and Google Now have become common household names. Apart from their traditional abodes of mobile devices, these assistants can also be found in the center of our living and dining rooms in the form of Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomePod devices.

This book focuses on harnessing the power of voice computing by studying Alexa, which is the interactive voice-based personal assistant used in Amazon Echo. Over the course of this book, we will embark on a journey to understand the internals of Alexa and how it works under the hood, while creating five unique Alexa Skills, each of which will be designed to address a specific purpose and a real-world use case.

I hope you enjoy the journey!
