Inspiration
We wanted to create a skill with Amazon Alexa that would both aid users and help them communicate with others.
What it does
You can trigger a skill on Alexa, which will allow you to send a message into a Discord channel.
How we built it
We built it with the help of the Amazon Alexa SDK and Python 3.6. We also used VSCode and Discord as helpful software as well.
Challenges we ran into
There were a lot of bugs, including a bug where Alexa wouldn't register our response as a command.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It took one of us three hours to sort out the biggest bug in the program. We also used some of Alexa's machine learning algorithms to register most sentences into a valid collection.
What we learned
We learned a lot more about Python and how to make skills for the Amazon Alexa.
What's next for The Discord-Alexa Link
It will notify the user upon the mentioning of their account.
Demo Information
Unfortunately, the Alexa Skill is not publicly available on the Amazon Alexa skill marketplace. However, a live demo can be seen at our location, which is to the closest right of the big screen and down two rows on the edge closest to the center aisle.
