If you have an Alexa Echo Show device and are interested in testing our Alexa skill, we currently have some Alexa beta tester slots available.

You will need the Alexa app and Paprika 4 installed on your phone or tablet to complete the Alexa account linking process.

Update (October 7, 2026): The Paprika Recipe Manager skill is now available to all Paprika 4 beta testers, so you no longer need to request Alexa beta access separately. Enable the Paprika Recipe Manager skill in the Alexa Skills store, then see the Alexa section of our User Guide for how to link your Paprika account and everything you can do with the skill.

Update (October 8, 2026): Just to clarify, the Alexa skill is available to registered Paprika 4 beta testers only. Furthermore, as with the other Paprika 4 beta features, the Alexa skill is free to test during the beta period but will require a subscription to access after the beta period ends.

Thank you to everyone who has been testing Paprika 4 so far. We’ve gotten some really helpful feedback and also finished up a couple of features that didn’t make it into the initial beta. As we get closer to release we are now opening up beta access to all current users.
