" summary

Explains how App Actions let Android apps surface voice features across phone, tablet, Wear OS, Android Auto/Automotive OS and TV by wiring built-in intents to Android intents or widgets; claims over 60 built-in intents are already modeled, and new brandless queries plus app install suggestions route users to apps (Strava, TikTok, PlugShare demos) without extra app work. Custom intents get ML grammar expansion to increase query coverage, and media session + widgets enable playback and glanceable responses.
