When adding intents, possible slot types include "Animal", "Drink", etc. It would be nice to have "Plant" as well, or something similar
Add "plant" as a slot type.

Need the ability to have all my kids see all echo devices in alexa app (should be aws orgs where all the devices roll up to parent account and then permission granted for devices to other house hold alexa users) to better utilize features such as going to a room and playing selected users playlist or to be able to control smart home features using alexa app as each child / adult has a different alexa login.

Skill Action Follow Up Notification
For skills that perform an action requiring follow-up (e.g. lock a door --> the door is now locked; close the garage --> the garage is now closed), there should be a window of time whereby the skill is able to respond back to the user without keeping the connection to Alexa open.

Skill Connections needs a re-schedule feature
Skill Connections is a great idea but needs an additional feature. My use case is my skill called "When is my Flight" is used at the departing airport and tells the user when his flight will land and I would like to give him the chance of booking an Uber when it lands. So at his departing airport he uses my skill and says book me an uber to take me home. At that point my service will book the uber at the landing time plus a delta of say 20 mins for him/her to get from aircraft to outside.…

Contact User for Rating & Review
User feedback is important to skill developer, very often rating and review can't tell all the details. If developer can contact customers for necessary details, that'll be amazing for both developers and users, which is actually a basic function on app store.

Add request/command invocation type to be sent for intents
Allow an intent to receive information on whether or not the user had requested an intent or given a command.
Especially for kid skills, the ability to alter the response based on the manners involved in invoking the intent could drastically alter the response and, if given as an aspect of the skill info on the marketplace, alter parents decision to enable it for their children.

API for Accessing Alexa Reporting KPI's
A way to gather Alexa Reporting KPI's like Sessions, Utterances and Visitors without having to log into the Developer Console. Something I could access from an API would be ideal. I'm managing 15 skills and flash briefings and don't want to pull each number manually when it could be easily automated.

New Alexa interaction flow besides :tell and :ask - :ask-once
- Suggestion
Having a new flow in Alexa interaction:
Prompt -> listen -> exit- Problem
As you know, there are currently two main Alexa interaction flows:
:tell - Prompt -> listen -> end session
and
:ask - Prompt -> listen -> reprompt -> listen -> end session
This is quite sufficient, but sometimes there could be a use for a shorter interaction, where user is asked for something once. Alexa would listen for the response and if user says nothing it closes the session. This would be mostly useful at the end of the game, when asking user for some feedback,…

Alexa sound reduction when activated to only the one device
So currently when I say ‘Alexa’, every single Alexa device pings and reduces volume, the one closest to me is still the one that is verbally responding but all devices are activated when the wake word is used.

editor should keep position in file when moving from tab to tab
The editor should keep the position of where each tab is being edit, so that when we move from one tab to another and then come back to the initial tab, we go to the same place.

Style of skill name on the "menu" bar
I'd like to propose that the name of the skill is shown in a different style, as it's very confusing visually at the moment -- it looks as if it's one of the menu items ('build', 'code', etc.).
If you just changed the colour of the font to, say, blue (matching the Alexa blue), it'd be much, much better.
I've seen that someone posted that they want to see the skill name when editing ("show the skill name when editing"), and that just confirms that the current style is not a good one.

Intent/Slot ConfirmationStatus as UNKNOWN or UNCERTAIN
As far as I know, Intent/Slot ConfirmationStatus can only be answered as yes or no. Please correct me if I am wrong. It would be great to handle the answers like "I don't know", "who knows" or something like "maybe", "probably" etc.

Testing of ISP for a different country
As a UK based developer, for months I've been unable to test my In-skill Purchase solution. I can now do this for the UK (finally), but I still cannot test my US version. This should be made possible.

Show us the analytics on Slot values
The analytics tab in the ADC needs to show slot value analytics. If my slot is 'Color' and the slot values are 'red', 'blue', and 'green', I should not have to go to a 3rd party site to see which of those values is accessed the most. It is unreal to me that this is not already in place out of the gate considering Slots has been around.

Share and Follow Mechanics
The Alexa Voice Experience is such a solo experience.
Working out how to share and follow on Alexa is going to be success for Alexa's Skills.
Here is an example of the sharing mechanic:
"Do you want to share this forecast with your Mum?"
"Yes"
Alexa accesses user's address book.
Sends notification to "Mum's" phone via text message.
"Your daughter" wants to share her latest forecast with you?"
"Mum" clicks on notification link.
Link takes "Mum" to Alexa app and it enables the skill.
Alexa says "Your daughter wants you to know this forecast"
"Mum" hears Alexa talking.
Alexa says…

Alexa for Business - Lock down Calling to Address Book Only
As I deploy Alexa devices on our college campus, a few room profiles I want to provide explicit Address Book entries for the device to call, but I do not want the ability to call any phone number by providing numeric phone address.
-- Also please add "Alexa for Business" to the category drop down please (:

session attributes
Session attributes should be included in all requests and responses between alexa and a skill. Why would sessionEnd miss the session attributes? It is like talking to a person without short term memory.

AMAZON.US_FIRST_NAME doesn't handle multi-word names
The built-in slot type AMAZON.USFIRSTNAME has a very large list of names, and it matches those names fairly consistently. One weakness it has, however, is that it does not handle double names (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_name), such as "*********", properly.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the developer console
2. Create a skill with an intent that has a slot for USFIRSTNAME
3. Open the test console
4. Launch the skill
5. Attempt to the invoke the intent using the name "Billie Jean"Expected:
-Slot value sent to skill is "Billie Jean"Actual:
-Slot value sent to skill…1 vote
