Workshop: Building Actions for the Google Assistant - Udaipur2019

Actions on Google is a developer platform that lets you create software to extend the functionality of the Google Assistant, Google's virtual personal assistant, across more than 500 million devices, including smart speakers, phones, cars, TVs, headphones, and more.

There are three levels of codelabs which includes level_1, level_2, and level_3 that we’re going to cover. At last, you’ll be able to develop an rich interactive application by yourself.

Level_1:
This codelab covers beginner-level concepts for developing with Actions on Google like how to get started with your first project on action console, how to create entities and intents with simple response and integration with google assistant.

Level_2:
This codelab will cover intermediate-level concepts like getting permission from the user for accessing personal data like Name, Location etc. Also, it covers how to write your own webhook in Node.js and deploy it to firebase.

Level_3:
This codelab covers intermediate and advanced-level concepts for developing with Actions on Google. It covers Rich Responses like adding Lists, Carousel into your application, how to handle user’s silence and cancellations and so on.
