Modify the speed of the audio player
Hello to all!
It would be great to be able to change the playback speed of the audio launched via addAudioPlayerPlayDirective. It could be a new
speedparameter from 0 to 2 where 1 would be normal speed, 0.5 would be half speed, 2 would be double...Thanks in advance,
Regards!6 votes -
Pass the ball back to 1st Party Alexa for a response
We keep the skill session open with users by giving them a follow up question prompt like "what else can I help with?". I have to believe there are a lot of skills that do this. There are quite a few circumstances where users ask things that 1st Party Alexa should respond to, not our skill. (Things like asking about the weather, about tides, or asking for a joke). We would like to be able to pass the ball back to 1st party for fulfillment.
This could be done by either closing the skill session and providing the 1st party…

Convenience function for API Endpoint in Alexa object
The Alexa object already has a convenience function called getApiAccessToken() for obtaining the API Access Token. But (unless I am overlooking it) it doesn't have such a convenience function for obtaining the base API endpoint. For consistency's sake, it would be nice to have such a helper method.

private/internal apl packages
I like the idea of APL packages, but the requirement to host them publicly on the internet makes them difficult to use as reusable snippets in the same skill.
That is, I would like to break down my APL templates by creating custom/reusable components, styles, etc. and then use those across many templates. Packages seem like the logical option here, but the requirement to host them publicly rather than alongside my templates makes them awkward to use in this way.

task development
Enable invocation of tasks for skills in development.
As it stands right now, the only way to invoke a task is if the task is in a published skill. This both limits the ability to verify task behavior without first publishing the skill, but also prevents the creation of "personal" tasks for skills that I might never publish and are only intended for my own use.
It would be great if I could develop a skill with a task, deploy it, and without publishing it, invoke the task via a routine or some other means.

Implement the Notify Me skill, or something similar as a general option for ASK developers
There is an extremely low amount of skills that can be used with the Proactive Events API. For Developers that need to send notifications to end users, this is abhorrent. I'm an IOT Developer within local government, looking to send users notifications for garbage and bridge closures, yet none of the schemas are applicable, even the Trash one is limited to a set of options that doesn't accurately convey the required information. This means that developers have to use workarounds, such as the Notify Me skill to be able to send that information to End Users, and also means that…

Grant skills permissions via voice
Allow all permissions to be granted to a skill using a user's voice.
Currently, the user can only grant reminders, timers, and user information permissions via voice.
Other permissions, such as the Resumption API permission, have to be set via the Alexa mobile app.

Fast forward/rewind in Audio Player
It would be nice if we were able to implement fast forward and rewind capability in the Audio Player API. There is no built in intent that would allow us to do this. This would also need to include the current offsetinms (the amount of time that has been played so far) in the request to the code.

Allow Skills to know user's response to Shopping Add to Cart request in the SessionResumedRequest handler
The Shopping Actions API has been recently launched. But it is half-baked. When the control is on Alexa side and she asks the user if they wanted to add an item to cart and the user responds Yes or No, in the SessionResumedRequest handler, the skill wouldn't know the user response. It will only know that the request was "successful" but it doesn't mean that the item was added to cart. I have this issue in the skill certification and according to the support team that due to privacy and security reasons, third-party skills have no access whether the item…

Integrate ask deploy with CodeSigner
CodeSigning jobs take an S3 Lambda source and copy it to a second, signed, S3 bucket. "ask deploy" goes straight from local hard disk to deployed lambda. It would be great for "ask deploy" to run a CodeSigning job ... currently I don't see a way to do this.

Ability for the skill to set up alarms that can be updated daily (with custom sound)
I want to be able to develop a skill that will do the call of a prayer for Muslim users 5 times a day. I get asked by my users all the time about this and I have to explain that Alexa does not allow it.
The idea is simple,
1. the skill should be able to set up 5 alarms every day with custom sound. The custom sound will be the call of the prayer.
2. The skill has to have the ability to autonomously change the time of those 5 alarms every day without the user interaction.It…

phone to alexa
it would be interesting to have the possibility to activate a skill by pressing a button from an app or by pressing a link on a website.
Here is an example scenario.
The skil "Magnitudine Assoluta" (amzn1.ask.skill.27a6febc-be8c-46ad-94a8-3211d12d87ad) satisfies the user's requests by searching on the website www.magnitudine-assoluta.it the topics desired by the user.
But if the user is comfortably lying on the sofa with the phone in his hand and is browsing the site, he could find an article, understand that he is interested and press a link "Listen with Alexa", which somehow activates an intent of the skill on…

Alexa to play audio and listen at the same time
can Alexa listen and play audio at the same time?
This could be in a quiz format for example, Alexa asks a quiz question and then plays dramatic/ tense music until the user responds with an answer
For UX reasons, it would be good to avoid making the user use the wake word. I don't really want them to have to start each answer with "Alexa,.." or whatever.

Make built in APL components to be more flexible
My use case requires image lists in APL but with some custom styling to match branding. It would be great if I could override some of the styles in an AlexaImageList component to get the benefit of all the existing responsive behaviour and at the same time, apply required colors
