Actions on Google was a development platform for the Google Assistant. It allowed the third-party development of "actions"—applets for the Google Assistant that provide extended functionality.[1][2]
Google renamed the service "Conversational Actions". Google discontinued the service. The last day of operation was June 12, 2023. [3]
Interface
[edit]The actions platform supported "direct" actions, as well as "conversational" actions for more complex applications.[1] More advanced developers are able to develop directly against the API, and a SDK for Node.js is also available.[4]
As of April 2017 there were more than 175 Actions for Google Assistant,[5] including ones from Uber, The Motley Fool, NPR One, NBC News, and Domino's Pizza. The availability was further extended beyond the Google Home space into Android and iOS.[6]
