You ask 'Alexa' to play songs, get the weather, and report scores. Those 'skills', as they're called, have an open API for building conversational apps. That API is the Alexa Skills Kit, and Flask-Ask is a Python framework that makes working with it easy.

Developing with Flask-Ask is fun. It's a novel experience to write and test conversational code, and it presents well over the web.

The Alexa service is available in North America only right now. However, developers are writing skills in other countries regardless.
