On February 1, a hackathon for developing skills for Alice was held in Simferopol . Local front-end developers undertook to organize it, and Yandex provided a place. Despite the fact that the participants created voice interfaces for the first time, more than a dozen working prototypes were created in a day, and some of them were even published.
In this post, we give examples of skills that can be done in a few hours, and tell you which approach underlies them. We want more skills useful and different. Chased.

What is a skill in Alice?
A skill in Alice is a script (actually a bot) written by a developer external to Yandex. Each skill has an activation phrase, after which the skill is launched and the user is transferred from the main Alice to an external script.
