actions-on-google

I'm a beginner, and I can't understand something about building fulfillment with the Node.js client library (Actions SDK). The development document use the Actions SDK by firebase, but I don't want to deploy fulfillment by firebase. So I don't know how to deploy fulfillment in my own server with Actions SDK. Please tell me how to do it. Thanks! Here is one working example with nodeJs library 'use strict'; var express = require('express'); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); var exps = express(); const ApiAiApp = require('actions-on-google').ApiAiApp; exps.use(bodyParser.json()); // API.AI

Google Actions can provide you with the user's location, name, and few other details. How can this be done on Api.ai without the nodejs SDK? All examples from Google are using the Nodejs sdk. According to the Conversation Api it is just a matter of putting the correct json in the response, however it is unclear how to get Api.ai to fill in this json. I've read the docs here , but am still unclear. Sample code, or more detailed documentations, would be great for the non nodejs developers. I'm working in Java, however a good explanation of how Api.ai builts the response json for Google Actions

I'm having a bit of trouble conceptualizing the relationship between 'intents' and 'actions' in a Dialogflow agent. I get that intents map the user's spoken request to a particular feature of my fulfillment service, optionally carrying parameters as input variables. This is how intents are defined in the official documentation : "An intent represents a mapping between what a user says and what action should be taken by your software." But what then are actions? Their definition reads almost exactly the same: "An action corresponds to the step your application will take when a specific intent

I am still quite new to this topic, so sorry if I didn't provide enough information. For the first time, I copoed everything from https://developers.google.com/actions/dialogflow/first-app to learn about it, which works great. After, I tried to create my own one, then at the end, I got this message "My test app isn't responding right now. Try again soon." from https://console.actions.google.com/project/[[PROJECT-ID]]/simulator/ . Therefore, I tried to delete everything and make a complete new start, including all the projects on https://console.actions.google.com/ and https://console

Does anyone know why my action can NOT use in web simulator?? I set my invocation name for testing as "test", and in web simulator , I try to use my action by input "Talk to test", but it told me "Sorry, this action is not available in simulation"... Is there anything wrong with me ?? This bug should be resolved now. If you are still having this problem, you should try pairing your account with an actual device first. The issue was resolved for me by signing in to the Google Home app on my mobile device and pairing it to a home unit. After that, using the simulator then works in the browser. I

I am using actions on google with api.ai. I am able to create a api.ai bot in a language other than English, but the web simulator of actions-on-google ( https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator ) seems to work in English only? Is there any option to change the language there or a time schedule when other languages (in my case German) will be available in the simulator? Currently testing a non English action is impossible, because the web simulator does not even forward requests if it doesnt understand their meaning on its own.
