Make a Home Guide With Alexa
Houseguest ‘s Alexa Skill Blueprints program lets you program Alexa to answer questions from servants, babysitters, and other guests. You can explain the TV remotes, the garbage disposal and the trick to get the shower to work, and Alexa will wrap it all up in the Houseguest Guide skill.
Amazon Echo is banned in my house for privacy reasons , so we’ll just have to use the old-fashioned method of sending our guests an email with a guide to the house and then texting them about everything we missed. Works for us. But if you’re used to relying on Alexa for all sorts of homework, this is a handy way to put together a detailed guide without handing over a giant homework-like document to your guest.
Complete your travel guide with recommended items from our post, “Becoming the Perfect Host in the 21st Century,” and our guest information pack, a PDF on the Wayback . To use your guide, visitors will simply ask Alexa to “open a home guide”.
