" summary

Builds a working trivia game using Amazon Alexa, the Alexa Skills Kit and an AWS Lambda function wired to a RESTful API backed by Contentful for question storage. Uses Node.js, the Alexa SDK, JavaScript promises, random indexing for questions, session attributes to track score and stateful modes, and custom slot types plus built‑in yes/no intents to parse answers. Deploys live to Lambda, debugs with CloudWatch, and gets playable responses (audience demo yields correct scores).
