Amabuddy — Amazon By Phone

Voiced by Polly

Courtesy of one-time Amazonian Alan Taylor, comes a reference to the Amabuddy. Using Amabuddy, you can dial a number with your phone, enter in an ISBN or UPC, and find out more about the product including its customer rating, Amazon price, and lowest used price via voice response.

Amabuddy was built with VXML, Python, MySQL, Apache and ECS.
