Search experience is important to behave as better smart assistant. But customizing search for your service quickly becomes complex. Imagine lots of resources, indexing, personalization, response times, and currently you could consider using Machine Learning.

How to reduce noice? How to personalize the result and the experience? How to index data for voice?

The In Skill Purchasing (ISP) of Amazon Alexa

The “In Skill Purchasing” is a feature of Alexa Skill. You can sell the premium voice contents in your Alexa Skill. In the US, ISP is gradually increasing in the Skill Store. Although ISP is currently only available in the US, UK, Germany, and Japan, it will launched in other countries. Unfortunately, ISP cannot be used in The Nederlands yet.

When you consider to publish an Alexa Skill (or Voice Content), ISP will be main topic to drive your business.

Should we learn this purchase experience as an early adopter?
