Introducing Dialogflow, the New Name for API.AI by Google
- rexreed 9y agoAwesome. I've always wondered - why no Alexa integration?
- RubenSandwich 9y agoMy arm chair guess? Dialogflow is owned by Google who is competing with Amazon Alexa with their Google Assistant/Home.
- rexreed 9y agoTurns out they have an Alexa exporter. I think it's technical issues more than competitive issues. There are other companies in that integration list that Google competes with.

- jhurliman 9y agoThe Alexa Skills Kit API relies heavily on an “intents + slots” system where you request specific nouns/verbs from the user such as a first nam or a date and the webhook only sees that specific information. This makes it difficult to wire up third party NLP systems, although there are hacks out there[0].
