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 "Would you like to send confirmation you have heard "daughter's" forecast"
Mum says "Yes"
When daughter next opens Voice Skill there is a notification waiting for her. Alexa says "Your mum has just heard your forecast"
This is a basic example.
How to we make this possible?
This is the future of Alexa.
This idea can be adapted to a whole variety of Skills.
