Storyline provides a drag-and-drop interface and API for building Alexa skills and flash briefings using speech command-and-response blocks. Users pick templates, assemble speech logic, and test voice recognition live in their browser. Since launching in 2017, more than 12,000 Storyline users have published 2,500 skills — over 6% of the Alexa Skills Store — and an active community of about 2,500 creators has formed. The interface has been used by grand-prize winners of Amazon’s developer Alexa Skills Challenge: Kids and by the publication Slate. With a new $770,000 funding round led by Boost VC, Storyline plans to expand its team, extend the interface to other smart speakers like Google Home, and build monetization and third-party service integrations. The product is positioned to become a home for smart-speaker content across devices.
