Here are the key takeouts from the recent Alfresco Day with my thoughts on the overall event at the end of the piece.  

Like any good developer, I feel the need to learn new technologies and am constantly on the lookout for information that will benefit my work. It's one of the reasons why I attended this year Alfresco DevCon 2019. Here's what I got out of the day. 

Seven teams at Zaizi took on the Alexa Skills Challenge; to solve a problem that someone could use every day. Alexa is the voice assistant service that powers Echo, which enables customers to interact with devices in a more intuitive way using voice-activated technology.

We all know that you can do some awesome stuff with Alexa from ‘Alexa call me an uber’ to ‘find my phone’ to ‘Alexa start a 7min workout’! We thought we’d try our own hand at using the Amazon Alexa API calls to prototype some great new uses for Alexa for us Zaizi enthusiasts.
