Amazon Lex: The smart person's guide - TechRepublic

Amazon Lex is the tech that powers Alexa, which is used in the Amazon Echo (above) and Fire TV. With the rise of personal assistant chatbots, the tools required for organizations to build their own assistants are being moved to the cloud to give developers the ability to leverage these technologies in their products. Foremost among these tools is Amazon Lex, the speech recognition and natural language processing technology that powers the Alexa virtual assistant, used in the Amazon Echo speaker and Fire TV digital media player. TechRepublic's smart person's guide to Amazon Lex is an introduction to the language processing technology. This "living" guide will be updated periodically as further integrations are released.
