Alexa chef
Project Overview
The concept behind this collaborative project was to create an Alexa skill. We focused on the “Alexa of Tomorrow!” With Alexa Chef, users will be able to enjoy Alexa on “private chef” mode as instructed. They can save a heep of time and stress when it comes to preparing food. Alexa Chef is very practical and time effective. As a user, the choice of Alexa in its current audible state is available but the addition of Alexa Chef Robo is also included. Alexa Chef Robo can physically prepare meals for the users according to custom settings. This skill is a mix of Home/Custom.

Brainstorm
​
We each proposed a potential Alexa skill idea in Miro, then we analyzed the reality and creativity of each skill. We decided to move forward with the idea I presented, Alexa Chef. It is the “Alexa of tomorrow” so it also includes Alexa Chef Robo.
