Why we included this project

Developers getting started with Amazon Alexa will find a complete reference: a Node.js backend paired with a voice interaction model that returns a random fact whenever the user asks for one. The README documents three setup paths, Alexa-hosted, a function in your own AWS account, and the ASK CLI, so you can take the route with the least infrastructure or the most control over the backend. Because it is built on the official ASK SDK and includes unit tests, it also shows how the voice interface and the skill logic connect in a real request cycle. If you want the plain skeleton of a simple voice app before moving on to multi-turn dialogues, this is a solid starting point.
