Get Talking with Actions on Google

" summary

Built a movie recommendation Action called Movie Maven using Actions on Google, API.AI, Node.js and a third‑party movie API deployed on Heroku, with session data storing the last genre so “give me another” works. Demo reliability suffers because test publishes expire. Uses API.AI intents and entities (genre list plus synonym expansion), webhook fulfillment, SSML for speech control, unmatched request training to improve recognition, and distinguishes ask vs tell responses. Notes limited direct actions, new languages and a transactions API.
