The human-computer interface has changed a lot over the years. Keyboards, mice, and touchscreens to interact with desktop, web, and mobile applications. While all of these forms of UI are commonplace, they require that the human interact with the computer on the computer's terms.

Humans interact with each other by talking and listening to each other. What if you could interact with applications the same way?

The good news is that you can! Voice user interfaces do not aim to replace other forms of UI, but offer another choice that's natural and lends itself to moments when typing and tapping aren't as convenient or possible.

In this webinar, we'll explore a few ways to integrate Alexa voice applications with backend applications, with an emphasis on Spring in the backend.
