Description

Have you ever wondered how Alexa Apps are made?

Why is Amazon and Google investing in voice technology?

A better question is why haven't you built an Alexa App yet.

If you ever wanted to understand the space of Voice Apps or build them yourself, then take our course "Ultimate Voice Dev Course - Google Actions & Alexa Skills". We designed it in a practical way so that when you finish the content you can immediately put it into use with your Amazon Echo, Google Assistant or online counterpart.

Now, why should you build Alexa Skills & Google Actions?

The biggest industries in technology are surrounded by AI, Bots, and Voice technology. Voice technology we believe will be the new 21st user interface that will not only understand basic commands, but will be so smart to understand anything you tell it. This is why Amazon is making a big bet with Alexa which it plans to generate close to $11 billion dollars by 2020. They know something about Amazon Echo which is why now is the best time to learn these skills before the mainstream starts developing applications. We all know the story about apps for the smartphones, this is the same thing.

This course contains over 50 lectures and 1.5 hrs of content. It's designed for beginners to play with new platforms in the voice space. You’ll learn the tools needed to build the Alexa Skills, Google Actions, how Skills & Actions work, publish a skill to Amazon's Alexa store, and publish an Action to the Google Assistant Directory.

There have be more voice devices sold in 2018 than in all previous years combined. There are lots of web and mobile developers. How many voice developers do you know? The Ultimate Voice Dev course will teach you how to build apps on Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa using the Jovo framework.

Jovo 1.0 (new courses will be coming soon for Jovo 3.0).

Learn to build with the Jovo framework.
