Amazon to help enterprises build voice apps for employees with Alexa

Amazon has announced Alexa for Business for companies to build voice skills exclusive to their office employees. If you are enterprise, you can use the tool to create voice apps accessible to your employees, without having to write code.

As reported by Engadget, there are dozens of blueprints to create the voice-activated commands. Some of these include many of the most commonly asked questions by employees such as 'What's the guest Wi-Fi password?', 'When does open enrollment start?', and 'How do I set up email on my phone?'.

Alexa for Business also includes blueprints for a smoother onboarding of new employees with responses to common questions, along with the ability to broadcast pre-recorded messages. With the readymade blueprints, enterprise users will have to simply input their own responses, exclusive to their company.
