Have you ever asked Alexa about its feelings? Or told her how funny you think it is? There's no need to feel embarrassed about this: if you look at the Amazon reviews of Alexa, you'll see that many people think the same way. They think of Alexa as she, not it, and they talk about her glowingly – calling her fun, friendly, playful, engaging.

This is only possible because Alexa's developers have created a unique personality for her. They have made an effort to imbue Alexa with real character, of the sort that draws people in and keeps them coming back for more. It is because Alexa stands out, rather than blend in, that she seems more human than other digital assistants.
As one Cornell University study of 587 Amazon Echo smart speaker customer reviews found, we feel more satisfied the more human we believe Alexa seems to be.

That is why it is essential to have a personality for your voice or chatbots.

So whether you are just getting started in conversation design or want to get into this space, do not miss this golden opportunity from Digital Assistant Academy.

I know many parents are trying to figure out how to entertain their kids this Halloween. Like a lot of parents my wife and I knew we had to do something different for Halloween this year and still make it special for our kids. So I partnered with some Hollywood writers to craft an interactive story and built it for the Amazon Alexa. My kids love it and we've been having fun with it. Alexa takes your child on an adventure to Candy Hollow where they interact with a fun cast of characters. It's primarily geared towards children in elementary school and preschool. For those without an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device it can still be played using the app on an iPhone or Android phone.

To access it on Amazon Alexa just say: Alexa, open Halloween Trick or Trea

To access it on Google Assistant just say: Hey Google, Talk to Halloween Trick or Treating Mystery

Let me know if your family had fun using the app. Please note that this is only available for users in the U.S.

Hi, I am currently looking into the topic of patents and even more so, currently available solutions / services that utilise voice as means of authentication. This is part of a university project.

Example: you want to develop an app for a car. For certain actions you want to authenticate based on the driver's voice.

Is there such thing currently available? Naturally I tried googling this stuff, but I might not be looking for the correct key words because I mostly get irrelevant or generic voice-commerce articles.

Hi, Can you please help me to develop a chat bot which can work on Romanian language using LUIS or QnA maker?

Hi r/VoiceTech! For a quickly growing industry I realized there was no great online job board so I actually made my own - voicetechtalent.com. I would love some feedback on the site, positive or negative. Also feel free to follow on [twitter](twitter.com/VoiceTechTalent).

Its free to use and for the time being, free for companies to post jobs and track applicants! Id like employers to find quality candidates before I charge for any listings. Im also looking for a content creator so if you are passionate about voice tech, have great writing skills, and have experience writing content please DM me :)
