Yes! We'd love to add support for Alexa.

Since Alexa doesn't have full support for Botkit's conversation system, it will need to be done carefully but this would be very useful!

would love to see the integration of alexa, here is another nice module for alexa https://github.com/matt-kruse/alexa-app

I was able to get alexa working with botkit, it may be a little hacky by passing the response object through to the custom .reply, but it seems to be working

Hopefully we will be releasing this soon. Maybe we can create a PR? @peterswimm

@peterswimm yup thats the correct one.

The utterance registry is meant to help with performing the same function across multiple platforms to reduce code duplication.
