Android shortcuts for Assistant

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Android announces that Android S removes the old 10‑shortcut cap so apps can publish an no 10-shortcut limit and push unlimited static and dynamic shortcuts. Implementation uses shortcuts.xml plus the ShortcutManager/ShortcutManagerCompat APIs and a new Jetpack Google shortcuts integration library to surface capabilities into Google Assistant, suggestion chips, shortcut settings and search. Dynamic shortcuts bind to capabilities with shortcut match required and can be tested now in beta, enabling personalized voice commands and deep links that actually work.
