"Alexa, Make Me Rich!" : Capitalizing on the 'Smart Speaker' revolution!
Our digital world and the way that our services interact with our users is evolving. This time, it is not a rewrite or port of existing functionality though! We are facing a disruption of such magnitude that our whole interaction model must evolve! We are facing a true greenfield opportunity to make a real impact in our users lives and how we respond to this challenge will determine if we are driving the bandwagon or chasing behind it!
Join me for an in-depth exploration of the technologies and architectural considerations you will need to master to succeed in this brave new world!
Home Smart speakers such as Amazon Echo, Apple Home Pod and Google Home are working alongside more traditional social communication channels to provide us with unprecidented 'always on' access to our users. Using these new means of engaging with our users can be a complex and daunting series of projects for any company. Join us as we dive deep into these technologies as we explore a selection of fully functional Amazon Echo Alexa skills , Facebook Messenger BOTs and Google Home Actions and, along the way, discover how to deliver consistent and engaging experiences to our users!
