On Demand Webinar

As an Alexa Skill builder, we know that you’re looking for ways to get to market quickly, while still delivering a skill that offers complex conversational pathways. Alexa Conversations Description Language (ACDL) is a new language that simplifies the way you author your skill to offer the most user-friendly and rewarding experience for your customers. This code-based approach creates conversational dialogues with semantic validation, modularity, and reusability to reduce the amount of code needed to enable these experiences.

Join this Tech Talk to learn about ACDL and learn about the tools needed to easily build natural, conversational experiences. Hear from two of our Solutions Architects who will provide tips, help you avoid common pitfalls, and offer resources to help you get started quickly.
