"Introducing Alexa Conversations (Preview), a New AI-Driven Approach to Natural Dialogs". Now dialogs are also training data for machine learning! You can heavily cut on your dialog design efforts (eg by 70%). Glad to see more AI in features for @alexadevs https://t.co/pLw5G4kVyr

Big news. One sector it could impact right away is hospitality, where engagement around restaurants, hotels, and travel are all inter-connected and could easily be part of the same newly-expanded conversation. #VoiceFirst https://t.co/eD8xLw6t7h

In a few years, we will laugh about the clunkiness of current #voicefirst interactions. Alexa just moved one step closer to this today.https://t.co/vNtYLwrPlH pic.twitter.com/J0EzUnrZmu

"After a person had bought two movie tickets, Alexa asked “Will you be eating out?” When the answer was “Yes, find me a Chinese restaurant,” Alexa transitioned into a discussion about nearby options, and reserved a table for two." #Alexa #VoiceFirsthttps://t.co/0DOzIgJ8Vr

An upgrade to Alexa's conversational skills will let it remix outside services like Uber and movie ticket buying in a single conversation. Right now, the 90,000 "skills" that integrate outside services have to be used in isolation. https://t.co/HpJ9ZYjjjn

Still fascinated by the contrast between Alexa's approach to AI and Google's. Here, Alexa is learning how to apply two skills in the same request, starting with just a single use case: dinner and a movie. https://t.co/x9lR3hl9N8
