Alexa doesn't respond to utterance

I type alexa open our environment

Repponse:Welcome to air quality index kuwait (From Lambda)

I types

alexa ask our environment tell me about air quality in kuwait

Reponse: Please provide a city and state (Not My Lambda function)

But this is in my custom skill utterance

Once you ask Alexa to open your skill, you don't need to repeat the 'Alexa ask our environment' (I am assuming 'our environment' is your skill name). You can just say the rest of the intent. This assumes that you have set the shouldEndSession attribute to False in your Launch intent.

From what you describe above, it sounds as though your invocation name is close to some other skill. You may want to consider choosing a more unique invocation name.
