Building Conversational Experiences with Actions on Google

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Overview of building Actions on Google with concrete steps: uses Dialogflow for intent matching and entity extraction, deploys fulfillment as cloud functions (Node.js examples) that receive structured JSON, supports screens with suggestion chips/cards and SSML output, links to apps via OAuth and action links, and monetizes with in-app purchases and $200 cloud credits per month for a year. Demo shows a Google I/O action that queries a database and launches videos — it works live on phones and smart speakers.
