OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGE
Five Minute Recipes: Allow users to select from among several options for quick meals, then follow step-by-step directions to prepare the selected meal.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Making a meal can be difficult in today’s busy world. To help solve this problem, I designed and deployed an Alexa skill that allows users to browse several recipes, then select one and have Alexa assist with the meal preparation.
CONSIDERATIONS
● How do people generally search for recipes or recipe inspiration?
● How will users navigate the available recipes without visuals?
● Is there a particular audience for the skill?
● How do people prefer receiving directions for meal preparation?
The goal of this project was to illustrate the voice design process from start to finish within the context of building an Alexa skill. In the following sections, I looked at the design criteria and basic requirements for your recipe app.
