Shows concrete recipes: how to declare App Actions in actions.xml, map voice phrases to deep links, and test via the App Actions test tool and a Play Console draft; how to return UI with Slices instead of opening the app; how to build multi‑turn conversational actions with Dialogflow + Firebase Cloud Functions (example: number‑facts intent, webhook calling an API, suggestion chips, cards/carousels). Notes developer preview limits, deployment review requirements, and that examples work only in English in these demos.
