Awesome - looks like a really easy and quick way to get started. I'll be trying this out this weekend. And good job on the video - you got right to the point :)



Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I'll make sure and keep getting to the point.

I invested in a Blue Snowball mic, and I'm making more videos:

I'll be making more to cover all aspects of the API: 8 or 9 3-min videos. I think that's all it will take for anyone to become proficient with Flask-Ask and the Alexa Skills Kit. They're easy.

If you try it out this weekend, the Ask constructor has changed from the one in the video

Ask(app)

to

Ask(app, "/")

Also, you don't need to add /_ask to the end of the ngrok URL anymore.

Thank you for your interest!
