What costs are involved with developing and/or releasing a Google Assistant App? eg: Can you develop an app using DialogFlow and a backend (say Firebase) without having to pay while you learn? First of all - you don't need to use Dialogflow or Firebase to develop your action. Both are suggested, but neither are required. You can use any NLP you want, or none at all if you use the Actions SDK (but you want an NLP). You can use any backend at all, including running it off your local machine and tunneling to it via ngrok, but you don't want to do that for production. But , during development (and

I am trying to make an assistant app and was using the cloud firestore service of firebase to send the response back to my app using webhook as fulfilment. I have used 'session' parameter in request JSON according to this documentation and sending fulfilmentText as response to the user. But whenever user launches the app, a new session is created which I don't want. I simply want, just a single entry for each user in my database so how to achieve that using dialogflow. In Alexa Skill, we have deviceId as parameter by which we can uniquely identify the user irrespective of the session id but is

I've been doing the Codelabs tutorial on " Facts about You: Build a conversational app for the Google Assistant " but have run into a problem. Page 4 of the tutorial is devoted to using Cloud Functions for Firebase for setting up a webhook to provide custom responses. Step 7 on that page says "Once the Cloud Functions is deployed, the Function URL will be printed in the Firebase CLI logs. This URL is separate from the Project Console URL.” My problem is that I only see the Console URL. I don’t see a Function URL anywhere. Can anyone please clarify where I should find the Function URL? My app

I am developing an account linking integration for an "Actions on Google" integration with API.AI for use with Google Home. When I test this agent in the simulator ( https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator ) As expected, this is my response: { "response": "It looks like your conference manager account is not linked yet. You can link conference manager to your Google Account from the Google Home app.", "audioResponse": "//NExAARC..."content_copy, "debugInfo": { "sharedDebugInfo": [ { "name": "Account Linking Url", "debugInfo": "https://assistant.google.com/services/auth

Very simple use case explaining my problem: Given my app asks for a pin for some interactions. Now the user gives me three times a wrong pin. Then, I want to reset his access and force him to re-link his account. I can do this pretty easily in my internal database, but I need a way to tell google that his currently used token is not valid anymore. Else, Google Assistant resists in sending me the now rejected token. Update 2018-03-01 : With the new built-in intents/events, I also tried sending the actions_intent_SIGN_IN event via the followupEvent attribute, but this only lead google assistant

I tried inbuilt variable "user" methods, $user.name and $user.email in text response of API.AI, to greet user and show email-Id. Is there any inbuilt variable name user? Example(User sign-up with Gmail), Response-Code, I had tried in API.AI's text-response dialog box: Hi, $user.firstname This is your $user.email Expected: User: Hi! My-Assistant-App: Hi, Varun. User: Show my email-id My-Assistant-App: This is your ******@gmail.com Output, I am getting in the My-Assistant-App: User: Hi! My-Assistant-app: Hi, $user.firstname User: Show my email-id My-Assistant-App: This is your $user.email Since
