Amazon Echo and other Alexa-enabled devices can do a lot of cool and useful things, thanks to the many useful skills that Amazon and other developers offer. However, if you’ve been waiting expectantly for someone to create a skill that solves a specific want or need, you don’t have to wait any longer. You can create your own personalized Alexa skills using Alexa Skills Blueprints.
Customize and create your own Alexa skills with Amazon Alexa Blueprints!
Build your own personal Alexa skills to truly personalize your experience with this virtual assistant. If you want, you can even share or publish the Alexa skills you create so that other users can benefit from them too.
Essentially, Alexa Skills Blueprints are templates that you can customize to teach Alexa to perform a specific task. There are currently seven blueprint types to choose from.
There are dozens of blueprints in these categories, and more may be coming. No programming or special skills are required to create a skill using the templates.
