  1. 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 speed parameter from 0 to 2 where 1 would be normal speed, 0.5 would be half speed, 2 would be double...

    Thanks in advance,
    Regards!

  2. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. Routines should be able to include more than one skill and spoken command for “from the device you speak to”…

    For example, I have four bedrooms with echos and smart lights. I would like to be able to speak the same one phrase (“bedtime”) in any of those rooms and have a routine turn off the lights in that room (custom - lights off) and open sleep sounds brown noise (skill) on the echo in that room. Presently, routines are limited to only one “custom” OR one “skill” action “from the device you speak to” making it necessary for different…

  7. 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.

  8. At this time, paid skills are available in the United States only.
    Paid skills should be available in other countries also.
    This will help to increase customer base worldwide.

  9. 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.

  10. I recently spent two days trying to determine why I wasn't able to use the "Update live skill" button for changes to my skill that were clearly eligible for live updates. Ultimately I was able to find the change that was blocking the live update functionality, but it was an extremely frustrating experience, since the Alexa Developer Console provides no insight into what changes are making a skill ineligible for live updates.

    It would be nice to have a way to determine what changes are making a skill not eligible for the live update workflow so that skill developers can…

  11. Previously when a user disabled a skill, if they then said the invocation name, Alexa would say, "You previously disabled the skill; do you want to re-enable it?"

    Currently, there is no way for a user to "start fresh" with a Skill that has content previous stored in DynamoDB or another database

  12. If you send the user in the Alexa app a card, it's not possible to click on links that are in the card. It's also not possible to copy these links to the browser.

  16. Make cards, specifically permissions cards, more prominent in the app.

    Right now if a skill sends a permissions card, the user kinda needs to know where in the app to look for that card. I seem to recall that in older versions of the app, the cards (and other skill activity) was more prominent and maybe even displayed on the home screen when opening the skill. Now I must know to navigate to "More" and then "Activity" to see the cards.

  19. I use SendToPhone to see a link to my Alexa App. But there is no little red "1" on the Alexa App. So, the user has to open the Alexa App to see that I've sent them a link. Most phone app support a notification affordance.
