    information.As a software developer and technology author, I have been very impressed with the comprehensive collection of Alexa toolkits and developer resources that have been made available for innovators to experiment with. A toolkit (or SDK) allows programmer’s access to Alexa’s features and lets them create Alexa ‘skills’. A developer can also integrate Alexa directly into an existing product via the Alexa Voice Service (AVS) interface. I have spent many hours using SDKs over the years to write programs
