Talk presentation

With devices such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home, voice assistants have gotten into our lives. It’s undisputed that voice-powered applications can have a tremendous impact on your life and your business. Let’s try and build a voice-powered application ourselves and even summon Alexa on stage.

Notes: This talk will cover a lot of aspects of how to create voice-powered applications on your own. I will cover the general idea of how these devices work, will demo an HTML5 powered example application and will talk about how to create custom Alexa skills using PHP.
