First Alexa Skill

We have a very simple and silly Alexa skill live – just because we can. It gives you silly ideas for inspiration. Its called “Thought Leader Craig“, and you can find it in the Alexa Skill store.

The back-end service runs as an AWS Lambda function. If the skill is slow to respond on first use, its probably because the Lambda function needs to cold-start as it hasn’t been used for a while.

The skill has actually been live since December 2017 (with a number of updates since then).
