Move over GUI, let's build a VUI with JavaScript!
summary
Live demo builds a working VUI deployed to AWS Lambda using the ASK SDK, turning utterances into JSON intents and returning SSML responses; a missing handler causes an error and is fixed by registering it, proving debugging is quick. Notes: support for 15 languages and locale-specific vocabularies, train models carefully—garbage in, garbage out—use the one breath rule for replies, prefer brief SSML-flavored responses over long menus.
