Hands-free DIY Help When You’re Covered In Paint
“Start with B&Q” Alexa Skill
In the UK, there is an average of 16 tasks on a person’s DIY to-do list. But 65% are not confident in their abilities to carry out home improvement work.
Say “hello” to your personal DIY coach. More precisely, say “Start with B&Q” to Alexa. She’ll first ask you what you want to do, and then guide you step-by-step unto completion. Voice interaction is great when you’re holding on to tools, or covered in paint, and can’t tap a screen to play a how-to video. Once you’re done, she’ll challenge you to do bigger tasks, building your confidence one project at a time.
A prototype of this Skill was brought to life by yours truly and the client was so impressed they took my Echo Dot with them! You can listen to a recording of a conversation, below.
