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.
Interface
The actions platform supported "direct" actions, as well as "conversational" actions for more complex applications. As of April 2017 there were more than 175 Actions for Google Assistant, 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. ==References==
