Overview
Amazon has named 17 new Alexa Champions, including developers and experts in Alexa and its multi-modal potential. The title, which comes with membership to a programme, grants early access to Alexa features still in development. Alexa Champions also have a closer relationship with Amazon’s decision-makers and provide feedback to the wider development community in online office hours or presentations. The new cohort is the third and falls between the numbers picked in previous years. Collectively, the champions have built more than 700 skills, according to Alexa Developer Community Manager Amanda Lange.
