What Are Skills for Alexa

Alexa skills are like apps. You can enable and disable skills, using the Alexa app or a web browser, in the same way that you install and uninstall apps on your smart phone or tablet. Skills are voice-driven Alexa capabilities. You can add Alexa skills to your Echo to bring products and services to life.

How do you get the Alexa skill?

To find and enable a skill, open the Alexa app, then tap the menu icon in the top-left corner, and tap on Skills & Games. Browse around until you find the skill you want (or tap the search icon in the top-right corner), then tap on the skill and tap the Enable To Use button.

How many skills does Alexa have?

Currently, there are more than 100,000 Alexa skills available, which let you control the best smart home devices, order pizza, play trivia games, listen to the news and weather, shop online and even start your car.
