Inspiration

Friends and I in the bitcoin space found ourselves constantly refreshing bitcoin price on web page. But sometimes I am not around my phone/laptop and it is hard to get the price. And sometimes I am just too lazy to lift my finger.

What it does

It tells you the current bitcoin price in different currencies

How I built it

I consulted Alexa examples and used AWS lambda

Challenges I ran into

Convert between currency names and tickers (For example, dollar and USD). User will not say "give me bitcoin in USD". Rather they will say "dollar".

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

That I use it everyday

What I learned

Voice-activated app design is quite different from the usual apps. The interaction model is challenging.
