Bring new forms of interaction to your product with Alexa. From smart toys to smart clocks and more, create interactive companion devices, or Alexa Gadgets, with functionality that stretches beyond simple voice-control and bring endless delight and entertainment to your customers. Bring your product to life with the Alexa Gadgets Toolkit, a collection of self-service APIs, tech documentation, and sample code that facilitate direct communication with Alexa to unlock unique interactions that are tailored to the capabilities of your product.
Build on Your Capabilities
Create delightful accessories to Alexa using device components that are the best fit for the experience you desire, including lights, motors, buttons, color sensors, and more. No microphones, speakers, advanced processors, or audio-processing required.
Flexible Interactions with Alexa
From functional to game-like experiences, you’re in control of how and when you want your device to interact with Alexa. Support interactions with Alexa’s out-of-the-box capabilities, or create more immersive experiences by engaging your device with voice interactions built using the Alexa Skills Kit.
Lower Your Overhead
Take advantage of lower overhead enabled through local connectivity options like Bluetooth. Your device communicates directly with the Alexa cloud, eliminating the need to manage a device cloud, account linking, or enlist custom OTA solutions.
Here are the experiences that you can build:
NEW! Custom Interfaces
Use Custom Interfaces to design unique, dynamic interactions between your gadget and customer through an Alexa skill.
Defined Interfaces
Use Defined Interfaces to create a gadget that responds to existing customer interactions with Alexa, such as setting timers, receiving notifications, playing music, and more.
