Flask-Ask is an Alexa Skills Kit for Python that makes programming the Amazon Echo super easy.Alexa Skills Kit / Flask-Ask Quickstart with John Wheeler

Write your first Alexa Skill (a memory game) in just under 5 minutes. Learn to develop locally without having to redeploy to test changes. In this video, we'll develop a memory game that asks users to repeat three numbers backwards. You'll gain exposure to requests, intent slots, and session management with the Alexa Skills Kit and Flask-Ask. The skill is also configured in Amazon's developer portal, and tested locally with ngrok. A blog post is available on Amazon's Alexa Blog.
