Project Summary

Distillery developed voice-activated software for Amazon Alexa and an iOS app that enable keyword search across a live radio database. They delivered full MVPs for both platforms and deployed them to Alexa and the Apple App Store. After launch the apps saw a large increase in downloads and report no crashes; Distillery continues to provide ongoing development support.

Key Challenges

  • Build speech-recognition software for Amazon Alexa.
  • Create intent and logic for a voice-operated search engine for live audio.
  • Develop an accompanying iOS app with matching capabilities.

Project Deliverables

  • Alexa voice-recognition skill
  • iOS mobile application (MVP)
  • Integration with three licensed APIs
  • Voice-operated search over 120,000 live radio stations
  • App Store and Alexa skill deployment

Project Solution

Distillery built an Alexa voice-recognition skill from scratch and developed an iOS app from the client's wireframes and documentation. They integrated about three licensed APIs to enable real-time, voice-operated keyword search across roughly 120,000 live radio stations. They delivered full MVPs for both platforms and launched the Alexa skill and the iOS app on the App Store, and continue to provide ongoing development support.

Project Outcome

  • A thousand percent increase in downloads after launch.
  • No crashes reported according to Apple statistics.
  • Clean, simple iOS interface faithful to the original designs.
  • Apps were published live on the same day, aided by the vendor's relationship with Apple.
