Here are some ideas for voice actions (this list will be updated with new ideas that are suggested in this topic).</p>
<p dir="auto">Amazon Alexa is very popular and it would be attractive to users to control VulnDetect with Alexa.<br />
I know that there are privacy concerns about Alexa, but many users are using it, so VulnDetect should be present in this market.</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't know if you have to name VulnDetect in each command even when the skill is installed.<br />
So instead of <em>Alexa, show my apps in VulnDetect</em><br />
users can also say <em>Alexa, show my apps</em>.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Opening VulnDetect</h3>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Open VulnDetect</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, open VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, open my apps in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, show my apps in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, open the list of apps in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, show the list of apps in VulnDetect</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Opens the <strong>list of applications</strong> (<a href="https://personal.vulndetect.com/#/applications" rel="nofollow ugc">https://personal.vulndetect.com/#/applications</a>)</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Open VulnDetect Configuration</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, open the VulnDetect configuration</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, configure VulnDetect</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Opens the <strong>configuration</strong> of VulnDetect (<a href="https://personal.vulndetect.com/#/configuration" rel="nofollow ugc">https://personal.vulndetect.com/#/configuration</a>)</p>
<hr />
<h3>System Scan</h3>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Start a System Scan</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, start a VulnDetect scan</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, scan my computer with VulnDetect</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Starts a full system scan.<br />
I know that Alexa does not have access to the computer (can not execute shell commands).<br />
So maybe you make the button <strong>Inspect this computer</strong> in the list of application accessible via an URL: <a href="https://personal.vulndetect.com/#/applications/scan-now" rel="nofollow ugc">https://personal.vulndetect.com/#/applications/scan-now</a><br />
After the scan started, you redirect to the list of apps (so users don't see the /scan-now in the URL).</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Check-In</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, check-in to VulnDetect</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Performs a check-in (maybe also accessible by an URL)</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Show time of last scan</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, when was the last VulnDetect scan?</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, when did I scan my computer with VulnDetect?</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Reads out when the last system scan was performed:<br />
<em>You scanned your computer 5 hours and 24 minutes ago, the next scan will be in 18 hours and 36 minutes.</em></p>
<hr />
<h3>System Status</h3>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Show ALL Vulnerabilities</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, ask VulnDetect for vulnerabilities</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, show my vulnerabilities in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, show my vulnerable apps in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, do I have vulnerabilities is VulnDetect?</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, do I have vulnerable apps in VulnDetect?</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Reads out a list of <strong>all</strong> vulnerable applications and for each application also the information if an update is available.<br />
Note: instead of "my" also the word "all" should work.</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Show NEW Vulnerabilities</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, ask VulnDetect for new vulnerabilities</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, show new vulnerabilities in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, show new vulnerable applications in VulnDetect</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, do I have new vulnerabilities is VulnDetect?</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, do I have new vulnerable apps in VulnDetect?</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Here only <strong>new</strong> vulnerabilities should be listed, so if I had up to now 10 vulnerable applications and today 2 new vulnerable apps were found, then only those 2 apps are shown.</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>Show number of Vulnerabilities</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Alexa, how many vulnerabilities do I have in VulnDetect?</em></li>
<li><em>Alexa, how many vulnerable apps do I have in VulnDetect?</em></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Reads out how many vulnerable applications the user has installed and how many updates for these vulnerabilities are available.</p>
<hr />

But don't you think that VulnDetect users are too concerned with privacy issues to purchase an Alexa device?<br />
:laughing:</p>
