Alexa skills

Skills are like apps for Alexa. You can already choose from thousands of skills to make Alexa to fit your lifestyle, from ordering a pizza to requesting a ride in the skills section of the Alexa app.

Skill Blueprints

In Skill Blueprints, you can use templates to create your own personal Alexa skill in minutes. Using Blueprints, you can create custom games, unique stories, or household lists. For example, you can write a trivia skill about your family and say, "Alexa, open My Family Trivia" to play it whenever you like.
