Inspiration

Self-defense is essential. Whether it's protecting yourself, or your family, we need to be prepared in the face of danger. The inspiration was to provide a few basic but effective techniques that can be used to defend oneself from an attacker. No matter age or gender, we all must be capable of self-defense.

What it does

This skill provides the user with basic, but effective techniques for defense from an attacker. All you need to say is - "Alexa, ask Self Defense to give me a tip." It also tells the importance of self-defense in our lives.

How I built it

I built it using Alexa Skills Kit and AWS Lambda. The lambda function has been written in Python. The tips and other relevant content has been collected from various websites on the internet.

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenge was to punctuate the tips such that they are easy to understand when Alexa tells them.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of the fact that by using "Self Defense", people may be able to protect themselves in the face of danger. Women, especially in today's society, must learn how to protect themselves. While the skill does not claim to replace an actual self-defense class, it can definitely be useful if people practice the tips it provides.

What I learned

First of all, I learnt a few self-defense tips myself! I also learnt that basic knowledge and simple tips can go a great way when it comes to defending yourself. Apart from that, I learnt how to make speech outputs user-friendly.

What's next for Self defense

Self-Defense looks forward to adding more tips and making itself more useful.
