 Alexa will now respond with a random phrase each time. You can use the include for as many different intents as you like so you only need to create the list once.
 
+## Workaround for having to say the skill's name
+
+Sometimes, you want to run script or scene intents without using the skill's name. For example, 'Alexa `<some script>`' instead of 'Alexa ask Home Assistant to run `<some script>`' because it is shorter.
+
+You can do this by using Alexa routines. 
+1. Configure a routine in the Alexa app that responds to the command you want to use:
+   -  For example, 'Alexa, turn on the dryer'. 
+2.  Make sure this routine includes a customized action that contains the full phrase you configured in your skill:
+     - For example, 'Alexa, ask Home Assistant to run the dryer on script'.
