  So far, Amazon Echo has been most useful for: 1) setting timers while cooking, 2) turning off the lights after I am in bed, 3) adding things to my grocery list.
  
  Now that the SDK is available in beta, what kind of voice-enabled apps should I make! The prompts are somewhat limiting, basically the below with some variations:
  
  • "Alexa, ask {app name} to {command}"
  • "Alexa, launch {app name} and {command}"

  @aaronpk Sweet. I talked about this with @jburrows -- I honestly believe that a voice OS evolution is going to be very important, very soon.
  

  @skyler @jburrows I am very skeptical of voice interfaces in general, but for the limited set of things I've used it for, it's quite nice.

  @davidmead Yeah the @ifttt channel is disappointingly limited and leads to hacks like that. I'm sure more apps will develop integrations for it soon tho. In the mean time, with the SDK it's possible to make arbitrary commands for it which is pretty neat!

  @aaronpk What is the kind of thing you are skeptical of for a Voice driven OS?
  

  @skyler Amazon limiting the vocabulary to a small set of things really helps cut down the error rate, but I still manage to have it mis-hear me quite a lot. Also many tasks are too complicated to do by voice, and are easier done with a good physical interface. I am excited to be able to try out living with a voice interface for a while though!

  @aaronpk I like the flash briefing and weather stuff. Music is pretty nice too though sometimes it doesn't understand me
  

  @AmbassadorAwsum ah I forgot about the weather! I do like that too!
