Social Media

Social Media Alexa Skill

An Alexa skill for the Amazon Echo. Find out what's trending on social media world wide or in a particular area. Check out the code on Github.

Example phrases:

• Alexa, ask Social Media what's trending.

• Alexa, ask Social Media what's happening in San Francisco.

• Alexa, ask Social Media what's trending on Twitter.

How it works

The project is written in ES2015 and compiled to ES5 compatible JavaScript so that it can run on AWS Lambda. It reacts to voice intents sent from the Amazon Alexa Skills Kit, calls the Twitter API, builds a voice response and sends it back to the Echo.
