This is an Alexa skill that provided a list of interesting feeds about a topic, the Alexa assistant will select a feed at random, store the Arwewave's blockchain network and tell it to the user when the skill is invoked.
In my opinion to evaluate data streams is important to have in mind the quality and utility of the data and the audience it reaches. In this case the bot / assistant notarizes eaach data stream that it tells to the users.
This is the link of the Alexa skill live in Amazon marketplace for skills: https://amzn.to/36yQ7jD
Right now includes different languages locales such as en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-IN, and en-US and it is published in the following countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and India. I will add in the near future more locales such Spanish for Mexico and Spain.
More topics will be added and published in additional skills.
This is the wallet address used to store the feeds in the project: YMXJ-1WWiTnR2G6sC-wOZQPfwjyB-Lk1-hJxqAKlpHs
I have also used the tags:
title= Speech to Text to Blockchain
app-name = Machine Learning Feeds

Click the "Create function" button and create the Lambda function. Remember to grant the Alexa Skills Kit permission to invoke it, and set up the IAM role.
It's time that you install the dependencies of the repo you have cloned. You will need Node.js (> v8).
Go to the custom folder which is inside the lambda folder and introduce the following command in the CLI:
npm install
Now upload a zip of all the content within the custom folder (including the node_modules).
- Copy the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for this function as you will need later.
- Return back to the Amazon Developer Portal. While on the Build tab, select the Endpoint tab. Select the "AWS Lambda ARN" option for your endpoint. Introduce the ARN you have copied before and save the endpoint.
