#5 Monitoring & Analytics for Alexa

We have three presentations for our fifth meetup, which is focused on monitoring and analytics tools for Alexa skills. The speakers will cover a range of topics in this area including monitoring Lambda functions, analyzing usage of your skills, and delivering insights around how users use your skills.

John Kelvie, Founder of Bespoken, will talk about building skills with the Alexa AudioPlayer API - one of the more useful, but less well-understood, parts of the platform. He will show how the Bespoken development and monitoring tools help with the full dev life-cycle, from initial coding and debugging through testing and into ongoing operations and management.

Justina Nguyen, Developer Evangelist from Dashbot, will discuss the importance of using analytics to refine Skills. She will share key metrics developers should focus on while building their Skills.

Adam Marchick, co-founder and CEO of VoiceLabs, will share some tips on how the hundreds of Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice developers on the company's platform have doubled retention in the past four months.

Looking forward to seeing you all in a few weeks!
