Alexa needs a PageRank and an 'I'm feeling lucky' that is successful the majority of the time.
I would like it to work as a room of human experts works with a moderator.
Alexa, how long will it take me to cycle to Netto?
Alexa sends this parsed query out to all apps it thinks can answer.
They respond with a confidence level and answer / follow up question.
Alexa decides which app to choose (the 'PageRank') based on a number of factors like has the query been seen before and how did each app perform for it, the app's answer success rate, has the user been given a response from this app before etc. etc.
The user should not have to install apps. Alexa should know all of the apps in the room and what they're good/bad at and select one to respond.
Surely discovery is the wrong way to think about this problem and Alexa needs to be elevated from a good speech parser.
- cheez 8y agoOh I like this twist on things. The difficulty is how do you prevent your data/query going to a place you wouldn't want it to go to?
- drsim 8y agoVery true, the privacy implications would need to be carefully considered.

Alexa scientists are constantly working on improving the arbitration experience but it’s a very difficult problem, especially due to security concerns. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/implement-canfulfillintentrequest-for-name-free-interaction.html https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/implement-ca...
