There are thousands of skills available for Amazon Alexa.
But sometimes you want a little more personalization and customizability.
With Alexa Blueprints, you’re able to do just that.
First is the ability to provide the sitter with morning, afternoon, and evening schedules.
There are customizable options if you want to tell the babysitter where items are and how to do things.
you might also give a list of emergency contacts that Alexa will relay.
Alexa will then give them the location youve specified during setup.
Pet Sitter
The Pet Sitter Blueprint is very similar to the Babysitter Blueprint.
After all, looking after a pet can be a lot like caring for a child.
Alexa will run through the entire list, giving each entrys name and phone number.
Whose Turn
Whose Turn is a handy Blueprint for resolving arguments over whose turn it is to do something.
Chore Chart
Like Whose Turn, the Chore Chart Blueprint can resolve disputes by bringing Alexa into the mix.
First, you list all of your household members, then all the possible chores they could do.
Then, you assign chores to each household member.
Flatmate
Perhaps you dont live in a family home and instead share your home with other adults.
In that case, the Flatmate Blueprint might make house-sharing a bit easier.
Theres also the option for Alexa to give contact info when asked.
you might also add email or physical addresses to this contact info if you wish.
Sidekick
The Sidekick Blueprint lets you create a light-hearted skill that mimics a real-life sidekick.
While building the skill, youll see plenty of Q&As that can be used for inspiration.
For example, the question Alexa, do I have any flaws?
is set to Yes, youre almost too good-looking.
It can be distracting.
you could provide different variations of questions to make the process more natural.
There is also a wide range of sounds that complement your answer.
In the example above, the answer is given before a melodic chime is played.
