Virtual Assistants are one of the most important and rapidly developing technologies at the moment. So, what if we could build a superhero search voice app, which we would use via a virtual assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant?

To achieve this, we will design the graphical flow of our application, using blocks and connections on the online platform Voiceflow. We will define the necessary commands, variables and if statements. Finally, we will connect our prototype to a JSON file, which is a data-interchange format, using an open-source API, in order to retrieve the appropriate values for our requests and, then, perform many entertaining trials.

The workshop is conducted in the Greek language.
