Bind and manage products
This topic describes how to bind a product to a skill and manage the bound product during Voice Service integration.
Background information
If your product needs to use a third-party voice service, you must first bind the product to a skill on the Voice Service Management page. For more information, see Create a skill.
If you use the Cloud Intelligence App, skip creating a skill. Instead, directly bind your product using the public skill for Cloud Intelligence. If you have a self-branded app, you must create a proprietary skill.

- Log on to the IoT Platform console.
- In the navigation pane, choose to go to the Voice Service Management page.
Click Bind Product.
In the Bind Product step, enter the basic information for the product and click Next.

NoteIf the current voice commands do not meet your product's feature requirements or if No command mapping is displayed, contact business support to add the required command mappings.
After you bind the product and configure the voice commands, click Verify to open the third-party voice debugging page. On this page, you can test the product's voice features and debug the related voice commands on a physical device. For more information, see Third-party voice debugging.
After you verify and publish the product, click Done. The product is now successfully bound to the skill.
