Welcome! This tutorial was designed for the attendees of the University of Illinois' CS@ILLINOIS SAIL, an event for high school students to explore various student-led classes at the University.
However, this tutorial is meant for anyone to use!

This presentation was a slight adaptation of Vivek Bhookya's 2018 version.

We will be building an Alexa skill that sends your personalized messages to recipients of your choice via SMS.
This walkthrough uses the Alexa developer dashboard for the voice user interface design and AWS Lambda and AWS SNS to handle the recipient selection and message delivery function.

I named my skill, "Share Love," hence the "Share Love" in the picture.
