Thanks so much for hunting! At @betaworks, we're going deep into voice interfaces with our new voicecamp accelerator (@thebetacamp). It's important to us to understand the nuances from a consumer perspective. So in preparation, I did a quick hack with my friend @orarbel to make Wiffy. The idea is that when friends come over to your apartment, or guests are in your office, or renters are staying at your AirBnb, they can just say "Alexa, as Wiffy for the wifi password."
On the product side, the main learning was around when *NOT* to use voice -- we found that it's actually easier for people to type in their wifi credentials via text message than spell them out via voice. But also found that the Alexa account linking feature is pretty clunky. So our onboarding starts in Alexa and then goes to SMS when appropriate.
Would love thoughts from the @producthunt community
Made closely with betaworks voicecamp as a way to learn more about voice interfaces
Easter Egg: Once it's installed you can say "Alexa, ask wiffy to turn on Donald Trump Mode" or "Alexa, ask wiffy to turn on Samuel L. Jackson mode"
