Mobile Twin Cities: Actions on Google and Action at WWDC

Join Mobile Twin Cities for two presentations at our next meeting on July 10th, 2018.

Building "Actions" for the Google Assistant with Actions on Google and Dialogflow.

Actions on Google lets you extend the functionality of the Google Assistant with actions. Actions let users get things done through a conversational interface that can range from a quick command to turn on some lights or a longer conversation, such as playing a trivia game. Paul shares his work building these actions as well the use of Dialogflow
