WebFirst is currently integrating Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Homekit with VOA radio feeds. As an example, we have created several Alexa Skills to enable VOA users to request various radio shows by voice command alone (e.g. "Play VOA Thai").

WebFirst has developed and maintains a number of mobile applications written in both native (iOS/Android) and cross platform (Cordova) technologies. Our applications have helped VOA achieve their innovation goals, by providing a suite of AI based tools accessible agency-wide.
