Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1012
Hey, Teri here, hope you’re having a great day, it is Thursday and this is your flash briefing.
So today I want to highlight a new feature that I found at least I think it’s new, I haven’t noticed it before on the app could have been there for a little while.
But I did update my Alexa app recently and what I noticed is that when you click on the right lower icon, the More button as usual, it takes you to a list of features that you might commonly want to access things like your lists, your notes, reminders, alarms, timers, etc.
But when you read down a little bit further on the list, you’ll see there’s a See More button with a little arrow, you click on that and now you get to two other categories that are there.
And the first one that I’ll talk about today is blueprints, and when you click on that, what that does is it takes you directly to the blueprints.
So you can try blueprints, you can create blueprints, there’s all kinds of stuff that you can do and it’s a really easy way to access that.
they basically are templates that you can use to create your own custom skills very, very easily.
Now, obviously, the fact that Amazon has put it there in such a prominent location on the app means that they want people to try this out.
If you’re not familiar with what blueprints are, they basically are templates that you can use to create your own custom skills very, very easily.
It’s basically just filling in a template, that’s what it is and there’s all different categories.
Now I’ve done some flash briefings about this in the past and if you want to see those, all you have to do is search for the word blueprints on the website, and you will find those.
But the bottom line is this is really easy, because now through the app, you can click on these blueprints, you can make your own and hey, it doesn’t get much easier than that.
So try that out, have fun with that and get ready for tomorrow because tomorrow is the official start to the shopping bonanza if we can call that Black Friday.
It has been going on for the week leading up to tomorrow, but tomorrow is Black Friday, and I’ll have lots and lots of ideas for different deals that are happening for Alexa and Echo devices.
Talk to you then have a great day.
