Looking back since the start of Alexa Skills Kit, it’s pretty interesting to see how the tools have developed. Just to highlight a few of the tools now available:

• Skill Builder (a flow-chart like way of building dialogs)
• Skill analytics (to understand usage)
• Ability to call multiple devices from the Skill (Show, music player, or using templates)
• Push notification
• Interaction with Alexa Gadgets
• Monetization of Skills through competition
• More clarity in certification processes

There’s still a lot of areas to grow in the latter two points and we’ll likely see more to come in this area.
