Overview

With Bespoken Tools, develop faster and better. Do not slow-down for:

• Time-consuming server deployments
• Over-complicated and highly manual testing routines
• Complex ffmpeg encoding and configuration

With Bespoken tools, build high-quality, faster.

The command-line tools include:

• Deploy - One-command deployment of Lambda functions
• Proxy - Easily debug Alexa requests by having them send directly to your laptop
