About the Team
Our cloud-based AI Assistant is always ready—just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Skills are like apps for the assistant and provide a new channel for your content and services. Skills let customers use their voices to perform everyday tasks. Skill Builders publish skills in a centralized Skills Store to reach and engage customers on hundreds of millions of enabled devices.

The team’s mission is to help Skill Builders grow their business. We build publicly available intelligent web services and intuitive web-based tools that help developers increase discoverability, enable natural and seamless voice interactions, and generate revenue. We continuously experiment with new methods to support developer success, and scale the ones that prove effective. We’re focused on making the AI Assistant smarter, and we need your help to define and build the next generation of capabilities using Large Language Models (LLMs).
