Description

The Alexa custom skill is tied to an AWS Lambda function (Python).

The Lambda function performs the fetching of information triggered by different matching "intents" configured under the custom skill in the Amazon developer console.

The returned information is parsed into 'speech_output' and read back by Alexa
