Autosave please!
Please auto save! I've lost many edits on the older-version of this tool due to the lack of autosave. :)

Endpoint link
New i/f is neat. Thanks.
It would be good if you could add the link to CREATE a Lambda endpoint again (it was on the old console).2 votes -
Ability to fetch analytics data from SMAPI
Right now if you're building something on top of SMAPI you're not able to understand is your flash briefing popular or not without going to the UI.

Adding a new (custom) Routine should enable to stop radio Spotify Music
If I create a new Routine in the Amazon Alexa app on IOS Device I can currently only add the following actions:
Smart Home, Traffic, Wether, News.
I would like to have a action which stops Alexa from playing any kind of music or other sound.
Background: You create the Routine "Goodby" which should turn off all HUE lights and it should stop the Radio(tuneIn on Alexa, or Spotify music). The feature of stopping Music is not available in the app. If I say "Alexa, Stop" the music is stopped. Why is that not available in the app?53 votes -
Add queue for Echo Show VideoApp
The VideoApp for the Echo Show only supports to play one video. Once this video is started the current skill looses control. Please add a queue to the VideoApp like the AudioPlayer already supports.

Re-Use/Cascading a base state for duplicated events
With many intents that share baseline handling intents (help,cancel,etc.) it would be nice to be able to define all these at a top level, and have specialized states cascade down. e.g. Define NewSession state with all the default handlers. In a new, specialized state, SpecialState, you only define those intents that are specific to that state, and any non defined events cascade down to NewSession state.
This would allow more simplified code, as well as the ability to better maintain consistency through out experience.

integrate Alexa dev portal into aws console
While developing alexa skill I have to use 2 different portals (aws console and dev portal). Would be more convenient if I just had one

fire tv do not block screen during conversation with Alex
When Fire TV interacts with Alexa popup is displayed on the TV with dialog conversation blocking TV screen. If my firetv app can respond to alexa command I would like to utilize TV for displaying app related information instead of that dialog

Bulk upload of training for the new Beta Builder
The interaction model has two view - the old preview one and the new Beta preview one. They support different features and switching in between, deletes the changes made. The only reason why my team is still using the old preview, is because we can easily upload new and edit the old training. Would be great if this is also possible in the Beta preview, as to use the other new features available, like synonyms, dialogues, etc.

Enable and allow true push capabilities
Expanding the current implementation of Push would unlock a massive developer opportunity. Please allow devs to build and users to select skills that can speak without the user initiating the conversation. If a skill gets annoying they can turn it off.

remove the oauth requirement for SMAPI
You can't use the API outside of a website with the current model. Ex: would like to run Lambda function to update a skill model and then submit for cert. You can't authenticate to use the API in this context.

Alexa basic functions with something like Greengrass
Alexa has enabled the disabled community, especially those paralyzed or with diseases such as ALS, to enjoy a level of freedom at a relatively low technical entry point. Out of the box, with very little configuration, these people can now reassume a level of control over relatively simple things in their lives which were not possible before. Something as simple as lights, music, television, temperature control or opening and closing doors. It has been an absolute life changer for my family.
The one drawback here is that if the internet goes down, Alexa is unable to fulfill requests. For something…

Collapse "Save Model" and "Build Model" to a single paradigm
When creating or editing a custom interaction model, it's very annoying to have to save and rebuild the model in order to test out changes. I understand building the model can take several minutes, but I often find myself forgetting to save before building and wondering why my changes aren't showing up on the device.
A better paradigm might be to just call the button "Save Model". On click, save changes immediately, start a build, and notify when the build is done. If clicked again before the build is done, cancel the running build (or just remove the notification from…

Enhance AMAZON.Date slot to avoid issues with autocomplete of year, even if user did not specified it.
Unfortunaly the AMAZON.Date slot is auto completed by the model with the year, even if the year is not specified by the user. e.g. "give me my trips from 15. August" returns in the slot something like 15.8.2018, but of cause the user did not specifiy the year, but the skill developer does simply not know that the year was not provided!
This could be solved, via some enhancement and would not break existing skils.

Get the probability for a slot
Get the probability a slot was selected.
This would help an experienced developer implement a dialog to confirm with the user or to execute indent directly.

Restart Alexa voice after tapping the Echo Show screen
When a Skill is running on an Echo Show device with a longer text, I want to tap on it to scroll down. When I do this, the Alexa voice stops and the Skill is closed after around 8 to 10 seconds. I also get send to the intro screen.
I would suggest a solution to just pause Alexas voice on the first tap and start it again on the second tap. This will be a much higher user experience.

User-specific flash briefing content
The current flash briefing content (per provider) is a 'one size fits all approach'. Everyone gets the same NPR briefing, for example.
There are many use-cases where user-specific information could be very powerful in the flash briefing, often in concert with interactive skills. Some examples:
A sport team skill that (in the flash briefing) reminds you of your game time this weekend (or of changes), without you ever having to touch a calendar
A retailer skill that (in a flash briefing) advises of significant deals, relevant to your buying history or explicit 'watch list'.
I think this would take flash…
