Title: Hey HN!<p>We are Jess and Oscar, the founders of Life Bot, a voice app that helps you complete daily activities.<p>It’s available on Amazon Alexa. To enable, say “Alexa, enable Life Bot” or click on:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alexa.amazon.com&#x2F;spa&#x2F;index.html#skills&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B0749C8YD5&#x2F;?ref=skill_dsk_skb_sr_0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alexa.amazon.com&#x2F;spa&#x2F;index.html#skills&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B0749C8YD5...</a><p>Alexa is useful for things like timers, music, and news, but so far, most people don’t bother with Alexa apps. Voice apps are hard to find, they tend to do just one thing, and each has a different name and set of phrasing you need to remember.<p>Life Bot solves this by bringing the most-used features under one voice app. We’ve made the on-boarding process easy and have eliminated the need to visit the Alexa app. We also aren&#x27;t tied to just an echo device, since users aren’t always at home.<p>A popular feature we have is morning news - Life Bot gives your morning headlines through Alexa, but can send the full article to your phone to read up on your commute. Or you can set up a reminder to
pick up milk through Alexa, and have it sent to you by text at 5pm the next day. SMS reminders are our most popular feature!<p>Oscar and I first started working with Alexa in 2015. We set up Europe’s first &quot;voice design agency&quot; to build Alexa Skills for large brands. We experienced first hand the problems of discoverability, setup, and usability with Skills, and saw a huge opportunity to create the first voice app that people love.<p>Long term, our aim for Life Bot is that it becomes the only voice app you need – providing a consistent experience across all voice platforms and devices.<p>We’re excited about voice as a new tech interface and are convinced of the trend in voice. In our view, it won’t be long before voice interfaces will become the first port of call over a phone.<p>We’d love to hear your feedback on the Life Bot voice app, and looking forward to discussing anything voice related!<p>We’d also love to know, what do you wish Alexa could do that it can’t already?
