Alexa Skill Example for Rails

This project demonstrates some of the functionality which can be achieved with an Alexa skill service. This services enables a user to:

  • fetch values for a Google Sheet
  • write values to a Google Sheet
  • send an email to yourself
  • fetch the stock price for a list of given companies

Overview

This guide assumes you are already a rails developer and have ruby and rails setup and running on your laptop/development environment.

This app was also built on OSX but should run fairly easily on linux. We don't recommend Ruby/Rails dev on Windows.

Setup

Install the gems

bundle install

Start the server

rails s

Setup ngrok to expose the endpoint

ngrok http 3000

  • Go to Amazon Developer's Portal and create a new Alexa skill
  • Setup the interaction model using the provided Intent Schema, Sample Utterance, and Custom slot types which can be found in the /interaction_model folder.
