I made a browser-based bot that can literally speak out any words to Google Home and Alexa.
You can control it by:
1. Directly typing any sentence into the browser
2. Remote control it from another browser (even from a phone, as seen in the video)
3. Or use its API to trigger it to say whatever you want, whenever you want.
It's really nifty. For example, I have connected “Hey Google, play Chuck Mangione” API to IFTTT, so every morning at 6am IFTTT triggers hey.run (I keep the web page open, and at 6am the webpage gets a push from IFTTT and redirects to “Hey Google, play Chuck Mangione” page and stars speaking), and then Google starts playing the music to wake me up. I also have an Amazon Echo, so I have set up IFTTT so that it triggers “Hey Alexa, what’s my briefing”, about ten minutes later.
I don’t have to say a single thing. It’s all bots talking to bots to do stuff for me.
You can try it at https://hey.run Would appreciate feedback!
