About Alexa Skills
Alexa Skills are voice applications for Amazon's Alexa assistant, running on Echo devices and other Alexa-enabled hardware. Developers publish skills that handle voice interactions for information, entertainment, smart home control, and games, submitting them to the Alexa Skills store. Monetization is handled by Amazon: skills can offer in-skill purchasing and subscriptions billed through the customer's Amazon account, and both free and paid experiences are supported, with the selling-products documentation covering how purchases are implemented.
Development uses the Alexa Skills Kit and a personal developer account, defining interaction models and fulfilment logic. Official SDKs are provided for Node.js, Java, and Python, and sample skills give working starting points. Skills pass a certification review checking behavior, content, and policy compliance before publication to customers.
