Programming Amazing Voice Interactions

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Demos show concrete capabilities: Google Home retails around $179 US and a Mini leaks at ~$49, supports multi‑user voice identification, calling contacts, adding items to a shopping list, casting YouTube and synchronized multiroom audio. Programming uses Actions on Google with a sample trivia app on GitHub implemented as Cloud Functions on Firebase (three personas, ~150 prompts, audio assets). Conversation handling relies on API.ai (intent/entity extraction, contexts), and voice history/recordings appear at google.com/history for debugging.
