Virtual or Voice Assistants are one of the fastest growing technologies at the moment. Over one billion voice searches take place every month. So, how about building from scratch your own app that supports voice interaction and using it via an Amazon Alexa-like virtual assistant?

In this workshop, we will get to know the process of creating such an application, using the Voiceflow online platform. To achieve this, we will design the graphical flow of our app, using blocks and connections. We will define the necessary commands, variables and if statements. We will connect the application, using an open-source API, to an online database, to retrieve the appropriate values for our requests and then, when the app is complete, we will perform many entertaining trials.

The workshop is conducted in the Greek language.
