Alexa Skills
Alexa Skills are a way to extend the capabilities of an Alexa. One can view these as an Alexa's version of apps. Skills allow users to use their voice to perform daily tasks on the Alexa, such as listening to music, playing a game, checking the news, and numerous other tasks. The ASK (Alexa Skills Kit) gives users the capability to use self-service APIs and tools to build their own skills for their Alexa.
