BUILD YOUR OWN AMAZON ALEXA ASSISTANT - Powered by Raspberry Pi

In a previous video, we built the Google Home Assistant using the Raspberry Pi. In this video, we build the Amazon Alexa Assistant into the raspberry pi. The Alexa assistant also works in headless mode unlike the Raspberry Pi Google Assistant, so, you can activate it using your voice and do not need to press a key to ask questions. This project took a lot of time in the making and we tried to make it as informative as possible. If you have questions, ask them in the comments and we will try to answer them.
