“I am not sure I know that.” Does your Google Assistant say this often? Well, not anymore. Actions on Google extends the functionality of Google Assistant with its all-new set of ‘Actions’. These actions enable users to perform day-to-day tasks through a voice interface. Basically, it is of two types: Direct and Conversational Actions. Asking a question and receiving its answer is a Direct Action. Turning off the music is also a Direct Action. And likewise, there are many one-time actions performed via Google Assistant. Conversational Actions are performed with the help of a tool named Dialogflow. Here, back and forth conversations happen between the user and Google Assistant. You also can add your own Actions to customize the experience. Although, you will need a developer’s help to do it.
