What are Alexa Skills?

Alexa skills are voice activated apps that add capabilities to your Alexa-enabled device.

Skills add new functionality to your experience with Alexa. They are available in a variety of categories, like:

  • Education & Reference
  • Games & Trivia
  • Health & Fitness
  • Kids
  • Productivity
  • Shopping
  • Smart Home
  • Sports

You can find available skills in the Alexa app by going to More , and then Skills & Games, or by saying, "Discover skills."
