Testing Cheat Sheet · v3.91.2

What you can say to Alexandria.

A quick-reference page for physical-device testing. Speak directly when Callis is listening. Use “Alexa” when launching, reconnecting after the session closes, or interrupting playing audio.

Three phrases worth remembering:
“What can I do here?” gives contextual help. “Where am I?” restores orientation. “Go back” moves one visitor-visible level up.

Start, identity, and help

Launch

Open Alexandria

Alexa, open Alexandria LibraryAlexa, open Alexandria Library skill

The second remains the reliable fallback on devices that do not resolve the shorter phrase.

Personal

What Callis calls you

By the way, call me JohnYou can call me JohnActually, I’d rather you call me JohnChange my name

You can give or change your name from anywhere. Callis returns to the interrupted conversation afterward.
