Hi Supriya,

There is an overly complicated answer to the one line question, so I'll try to keep this as simple as I can =]

Amazon Alexa provides developers access to something called Alexa Voice Service or AVS. This interface allows voice-enabled interactions with connected products. There is extensive documentation available online that you must familiarize yourself with in order to use it. But before you do that, I would suggest reading through https://www.linkeit.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-on-how-to-integrate-alexa-into-products. This article will give you a very high-level overview of the steps involved in connecting your application to Alexa.

Next you should go through the AVS documentation at https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-voice-service/api-overview.html. Once you have a good understanding of how the interfaces in AVS work, you can decide how you want to integrate them with Blue Prism. One possibility I see is to build a middle layer using python or other coding language of your choice and use it to receive commands from Alexa AVS interfaces and integrate them into BP. More information on BP integration can be found at https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/site/global/developer/integration/index.gsp.

I will be curious to see what you build if you do decide to take on this herculean task. Please keep us posted! =]
