<h3><a id="alexa">Amazon Alexa</a></h3>
<p>Athena sponsor Amazon Alexa provides software tools that let you build engaging voice experiences for your services and devices. The two toolsets available are: </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">Alexa Skills Kit</span></p>
<p>The <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/ask" target="_blank">Alexa Skills Kit</a> is a collection of self-service APIs, tools, documentation and code samples that make it fast and easy for you to add skills to Alexa. Skills enable customers to interact with devices in a more intuitive way using voice. Examples of skills include the ability to play music, answer general questions, set an alarm or timer, and more. You can now also use the <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/content/smart-home" target="_blank">Smart Home Skill API</a>, a new addition to the Alexa Skills Kit, to easily teach Alexa how to control your cloud-controlled lighting and thermostat devices. All of the code runs in the cloud – nothing is on any user device. Make an Alexa skill in <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/alexa-skill-tutorial" target="_blank">5 minutes</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">Alex Voice Service</span></p>
<p>The <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/avs" target="_blank">Alexa Voice Service (AVS)</a> is the intelligent and scalable cloud service that powers Amazon devices like the Echo, the Dot, and the Amazon Tap. We have opened up the AVS APIs (free of cost), so you as a developer can add voice-enabled experiences to any connected product – all you need is a microphone and speaker. Users can simply talk to their Alexa-enabled products to play music, answer questions, get news/local information, control smart home products, and more. Get started <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-voice-service/getting-started-with-the-alexa-voice-service" target="_blank">here</a>. Oh, and here's an <a href="https://github.com/amzn/alexa-avs-raspberry-pi" target="_blank">Alexa powered Raspberry Pi</a>, for example (with sample code).</p>
