See a demonstration of Alexa Entities and learn how to create more engaging and intelligent skills using the Alexa Knowledge Graph. Alexa Entities provides access to knowledge information from Alexa's high-quality, continuously updated catalogues containing facts about people (e.g. George Clooney’s birthday), places (e.g. the population and capital of Belgium) and more general things (e.g. the average weight of a hippo). We will also demonstrate how Alexa Entities can be used with Alexa Conversations to make your Alexa conversations even more delightful. This session will be presented by Gen Suzuki, Senior Software Engineer, Alexa Knowledge.


During this Tech Talk you will learn how to:

  • Resolve mentions in your skill utterances to Alexa Entities
  • Use Alexa Entities to fetch useful and interesting data from Alexa’s Knowledge Graph
  • Integrate with Alexa Conversations to make your conversations even more delightful
