June 06, 2018 How to get filthy rich building voice skills (part one)
Today I want to talk about how to get filthy rich building voice skills. Thats right! It’s really time to start to build your voice empire. Now is the time to get serious.

As we talked about yesterday, Amazon turned on “Can Fulfill Intent Requests” which essentially allows for the creation of hyperlinks between voice skills. We now have a discovery and way to move around the “voice web” just like you can move between websites on the web. We had Justin Malvin, star product manager on yesterday to talk about the basics— how will it work? what does it mean? How should we think about it?

In this episode, I want to lay out the method I’m using to build systems for voice skills. History repeats itself.

June 05, 2018 Alexa just made the HUGE change we want and fear. We analyze.
Amazon Alexa basically just went WESTWORLD on us!

The Alexa team announced they will allow for voice skills to link and open other voice skills without the need to download or enable on the user end.

Justin Malvin (stallion product manager here in LA) and I break down and analyze the epic insanity that is "CanFulfillIntentRequest" from Alexa.

Learn about this now, while it's hot!!

June 04, 2018 I propose: all voice assistants need to tell us how they share data NOW
I understand that in some sense, Facebook will be looked at as the grand data experiment we ran in early, simpler times. None of us, including the Facebook employees, knew how to build rules and create visible values and safeguards.
