Alexa Mad Libs App

An Alexa skill targeted at kids, allowing them to insert their own words into Alexa's saved stories. To test, clone repo and npm install. Now you have two options.

Test in Alexa-App-Server

This is the quickest way for you to test using Node. Clone down this server and place the Mad Libs App directory into the examples/apps directory of the server. Run $ node server.js in the examples directory and open localhost:8080/alexa/MadLibs in your browser.

Test in broswer/device

I wrote up a tutorial here for getting the skill working on your Amazon Developer account. If you have a device registered to your account, this will allow you to test with it as well. I'll include the Intent Schema and Sample Utterances below. Be sure to include a Custom Slot Type called "Stories" and at least one of my story names as an option (i.e. "troll").

Intent Schema

  "intents": [
    {

          "type": "Stories"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "intent": "blank",
      "slots": [
        {
          "name": "WORD",

      ]
    }
  ]
}
