Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We use Metabase on the back-end of our React code-base. We want to integrate the Alexa API to create a voice-enabled app where learners can ask Alexa for soft skills tips. We have a database of > 250 tips that can be used for input.

Students should be prepared to:

  • research the Alexa API to identify best practices for integration
  • code the Soft Skills app
  • input the tips (.xlsx source)
  • test the app
