I am working on the Claudia.js bot, which can be obtained through Slack, FB messenger and as an Alexa skill. Presumably in claudia you can return plain text and the framework will return its “frontend” correctly ... What currently works for me works fine with FB and Slack, but when I access it through Alexa's “Simulator services”, I always get "The answer is invalid." Here is the lambda that uses Claudia.js. Basically, he receives messages from the client, and then shunts them to another Lambda, which is an “AI”. It seems that Alexa is suffocating on line 67. Ideas?
