Alexa Skill Builder Growth team's charter is to enable Skill Builders grow their business on Alexa. We do this by building publicly available intelligent web services and intuitive web-based tools that help Skill Builders drive discoverability of their skills, enable natural and seamless interactions between skills and generate revenue. E.g., our name-free interaction (NFI) Toolkit makes it easier for customers to find and open skills without having to remember and say the skill's name. NFI enables skills to compete for customer's utterances by providing build and runtime signals. We are continuously experimenting with new ways for driving Skill Builder growth and the ones that succeed, we make them publicly available. We are measurably making Alexa smarter, and we need your help to define and build the next generation of capabilities as we shift focus towards trending Large Language Models(LLM).
