Incorporate handlers into Alexa console for more accurate NLP
Alexa should only have to decide between the intents available inside of a handler. By integrating handler groupings into the Alexa Console the build process and NLP can take into account these more specific situations and will become more accurate deciding between the 3 intents in a specific handler as opposed to the 18 intents that are available.

Extend of option to entend session duration
I work 8 hours a day like most developers, so I have to login 3 to 4 times a day because amazon developers log you off automatically every 2 hours? I understand its a security issue but I would like the option to maintain the session a little longer, or at the very least, extend the session duration if the developer is using the console.

Build model upon saving endpoint
Change behaviour when saving endpoint.
When saving a new endpoint, e.g. to a new lambda version a green pop-up appears. This most likely represents success for most users. But the text says, that the skill has to be build before the change becomes effective. This might easily be forgotten. For example, before I submit a skill for certification I always publish a new version of my lambda endpoint. If I forget to build the skill after adding that endpoint to the skill it might point to $LATEST. That means changes to the lambda would affect the skill in certification or…3 votes -
Feedback on the new console
Why have you hidden the Skill ID away onto the dashboard. When I'm updating to a new Lambda version and pasting in the endpoints, I then need to skill to set at lambda, which means I need to go to the dashboard page. Please make it available like it was on the old console.
Also, please please please, lets have some simple debugging logs and testing of execution for the Lambda.
Just a little test button next to the endpoint where it fires off something (discovery?) (SmartHome Skill) just to make sure it can execute the Lambda, between the permissions…

Improve handling of timed-out web connection
Both the Alexa dev console and the ASK Lambda console time out unused sessions -- which is good -- but do not provide any visual indication that this has happened. At least one of these consoles (I don't remember which) compounds that problem by then responding to user requests with 401 errors rather than explaining that the user needs to sign in again.
The better response would be to handle this by popping up a message that the session has timed out and the user needs to log in again.
The best response would be if that popped-up message included…

Activity Log on developer console.
Presently Alexa developer console does not support federated login. We have team of developers who works on the same skill. It is better to have an activity log which keeps track of what changes are done to the skill by which user. This gives us a way to track the changes made by various users.

Allow NLU evaluations to be case insensitive
Because it is case sensitive, the automated NLU tester almost always fails when testing values which may be contained in an Alexa built-in slot.
It also appears random as to whether the values in the slot are uppercase, lowercase, or even mixed between two words.
Example: For the slot AMAZON.GB_CITY, it matches the slot values, but shows a fail because sometimes they are lowercase.
Of course, if I submit all lowercase, then it fails on the ones which are uppercase.
It would be very easy to make the nlu tester ignore case sensitivity, which would make it more useful.

Have analytic scores show which Alexa device customers are using
When seeing your analytics for skill, put in a way to see if customers are using it on a screen or not. To see if there's more engagement with your skill if they see graphics or not (from the APL)

a built-in slot for special characters
Need a built-in slot that accepts special characters such as .,/@#%&$*()!"':;<>? , as Alexa couldn't read them as characters but reads them as words like (dot, at, comma, etc.)

Code error check before deploy
It would greatly help if the Deploy button, under the Code tab, could check and warn if there were any code errors before deploying the lambda code. Right now I can deploy code with error or even an empty js file. Ideally, the Deploy operation should fail or stop with a good message.

Make it obvious you're on dev / live skill
When on the dev console it is hard to tell if the project you have open is the dev or live version of a skill without going to specific pages and seeing if the save button is disabled or not.
This could be solved by putting this status somewhere on the page. I think this could be done by putting this info (dev vs live) on the dev console's top bar (so you can see it everywhere), and maybe even color-coding the info to draw the eye.

Alexa Hosted: Enable Code Version History/Restore
Since Alexa Hosted is based on git repository for code storage (AWS CodeCommit as described in doc), let user view and restore a previous version of code.
It would be veeery useful for people like me who accidentally dropped code, or in general to restore previous version for any reason.

It is nice to have, inside the Intent editor, a filter that allow the Intent Match to match the intent only if the previous intent was into a list of intents
