Hello! When sample utterance are used, it doesn't execute the functions. However using the invocation will.

Basically since the sample skill doesn't sends should_end_session': False as Response which ends the session .

Add below code after this line : https://github.com/alexa/skill-sample-python-fact/blob/master/lambda/py/lambda_function.py#L76

handler_input.response_builder.set_should_end_session(False)

and your session will be maintained and you would be able to ask facts using utterances only without using invocation name each time and Alexa respone in lambda would appear something like below :

Alexa Response: {'can_fulfill_intent': None, 'card': {'content': 'The temperature inside the Sun can reach 15 million ' 'degrees Celsius.', 'object_type': 'Simple', 'title': 'Space Facts'}, 'directives': None, 'output_speech': {'object_type': 'SSML', 'ssml': "<speak>Here's your fact: The temperature inside " 'the Sun can reach 15 million degrees ' 'Celsius.</speak>'}, 'reprompt': None, 'should_end_session': False}

I believe the issue may have been related to a bug in the canHandle condition that has been fixed. If the issue still persists, please reopen the issue. For now closing.
