Think of innovative ways that will make Alexa smarter. We have couple of ideas to challenge you: Alexa Public Feed (Twitter via Alexa?) Alexa Chat (Alexa-to-Alexa communication with friends) Notifications through Alexa on various topics The winning prize is Alexa Echo device. But that’s not all! The winners will work as part of GSIX in order to commercialize the skill for a period of 2 months. Beside great working atmosphere and cozy office, our overall team will be available for any software engineering, business development and marketing-related consultancy. ✅ Embedsocial challenge — display the appropriate content (reviews, stories, hashtags/pictures) depending on the user with the help of AI. Every day we buy something online, products or services. We also know that every person has different motivations, expectations, and preferences depending on their culture, location and previous experience when they are faced with a decision to buy something online. How do we improve their experience, alleviate their concerns and make them confident in their decision? How do we take into consideration the above differences and provide the most relevant content depending on the above attributes? The challenge for the team would be to showcase the relevant content depending on who is looking for the solution. This will benefit the companies and organizations who use EmbedSocial to further increase their conversion rates. Ideally, the solution based on AI should provide better results compared to the existing solution that showcases the right content but does not take into consideration who the user is.
