Getting started with App Actions
summary
App Actions lets an Android app register capabilities via actions.xml and appear across Launcher, Assistant, Play and Search by mapping Google’s semantic built-in intents (16 languages supported) to deep-links. Two fulfillment models exist: URL-template (example: ORDER_RIDE intent with pickup/dropoff placeholders) and content-driven using structured data. Use the App Actions Test Tool to preview, and Firebase App Indexing to report usage for personalized suggestions. Google reports ~60% prediction rate; Android research shows 77% of apps unused after 3 days, 90% after a month.
