Top Amazon Alexa Skill, Ask My Buddy, Personal Alert Network, Seeking In-Home and Medical Alert Monitoring Service Partners

Ask My Buddy, Personal Alert Network, a leading skill on Amazon’s Alexa & Google's Home voice platforms, is seeking non-exclusive partnerships with In-home and medical alert monitoring services to offer best in class features to their nearly 100,000 users.

Pat Coggins, co-founder, said, “Our vision is to get help to the end user no matter which device or service they may use. Many of our users already have an in-home alert device, but do not always wear them around the house, and integrating their existing service with Ask My Buddy, would provide the additional security of voice activation from anywhere in the home.”

AskMyBuddy.net, a top rated skill on Amazon Alexa and Google Home assistant platforms, gives users the ability to ask for help using only their voice. Alert messages are sent by voice call, SMS text message, and email to one or multiple predetermined contacts. Ask My Buddy can interface to most any service, giving partnering companies a complete solution and an immediate presence on multiple voice platforms, all without significant development and investment.

Mr Coggins continued, “Uniquely, we have a large number of users who do not fit the typical target demographic and would also like the added security of access to a professional assistance service.”

Voice enabled hardware is the next step in end user services. Alexa voice service is available on hardware such as Amazon’s own Echo devices, Invoixia’s Triby, and many more as manufacturers in all markets are entering the platform, including Ford and Motorola. Google has their own offering with their Home hardware device, and has enabled their Assistant service on Android phone software.
