Amazon Alexa + WP REST API = GUI-Less WordPress Application
summary
Build combines Amazon Alexa voice input with WP REST API via AWS Lambda to control WordPress without a GUI. A working Alexa skill named amimoto Ninja captures utterances, converts them to intents, then GETs posts and POSTs comments to WordPress (ReactJS displays results). Setup needs Amazon developer account, AWS Lambda and an Alexa device; code examples use Python HTTP libraries. Demo runs live at booths and mostly works though occasional recognition failures occur. Voice cuts typical eight-step GUI flows down to three steps.
