A really simple Alexa Skill that tells the user whether or not today is a holiday on the Hebrew calendar.
It runs as an AWS Lambda (event-driven, serverless, on-demand) function triggered when a user utters something like the phrases in sample_utterances.txt
. Because this is an extremely naive application, there are only two intents (categories of user speech) defined in intents.json
: asking if today is a holiday, and asking for help using the Skill.
This was my first attempt at using the Alexa SDK and Lambda.
