About this episode



Find out all about the Jovo framework that lets you create Alexa Skills and Google Assistant apps at the same time, using the same code!

You know how you always need to write platform-specific code for everything? One lot of code for your iOS app, another load for Android and more for Windows (if you even bother). Well, the same challenges exist today when creating voice apps. Well, those challenges did exist, until Jovo came along.

With the Jovo framework, you can create an Alexa Skill and a Google Assistant app all from the same lot of code. It’s part of Jovo’s bigger mission to enable you to create multi-modal experiences with ease and to join together the sporadic tech outlets to create a unified experience across all devices and platforms.
