I have a chatbot which is live on a website and takes request and gives responses from users in the form of text. I want to integrate Google Voice Assistant in such a manner that the user gives input to the assistant and the assistant asks that from the chatbot and then replies to the user with what the chatbot said. I don't wish to recreate hundreds of intents in order to achieve this with the voice assistant.

I wish to publish this on Google voice assistant instead of creating a mobile app and integrating the voice assistant with it.

Without a great understanding of how your chatbot service is implemented, I can provide high-level steps on adding it to Assistant.

  1. Choose to use either Actions SDK or Dialogflow. Since you don't need to use Dialogflow for NLU, you can probably just use Actions SDK.

  2. Create a cloud function or some other fulfillment that will handle the actions.intent.TEXT intent. Your fulfillment should then make a request to your chatbot service with the user's text. Then you should respond with the result.

app.intent('action.intents.TEXT', async (conv) => {
  const chatbotResponse = await queryChatbot(conv.input.raw)
  conv.ask(chatbotResponse.text)
})

  • Well, this looks stateless... and quite a few conversation apps will have some state. Especially for most back-and-forth conversations. What fun for someone! And a sign the original question is both too broad and lacking in important details. – Paul Jun 08 '19 at 04:47

    The webhook is designed to be stateless, but state can be carried in the platform between calls in the request. – Nick Felker Jun 08 '19 at 15:44
