The Talking App: Integrating Alexa and Google Assistant with Existing Applications

In this example-driven session, we'll explore ways to integrate Alexa and Google Assistant voice applications with backend applications. We'll see how to leverage support that both platforms offer for connected applications to connect with OAuth2-secured services. And we'll see how the backend systems themselves can be outfitted with code to handle voice requests.

Real-world voice applications aren't usually standalone. In many cases, the voice applications integrate with one or more backend applications. It may be an integration as simple as data persistence. Or it might be that the voice application is just another UI on top of an existing enterprise application.
