LoginRadius Google Assistant Demo

Google Assistant is an artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistant developed by Google that is primarily available on mobile and smart home devices. Unlike the company's previous virtual assistant, Google now, the Google Assistant can engage in two-way conversations.

Actions on Google is the official collection of tools, documentation, and APIs for development on the Google assistant service. This document takes you through the process of configuring our Google Assistant Demo that goes over the account linking process.

Testing​

Now that everything is in place, you can either test using the Actions Simulator by clicking "TEST" or via a Google Home device. If you use the Google Simulator and would like to test Account Linking, the simulator will not be able to return the login URL to your phone's Google Home app, instead, you will need to go the Simulator's DEBUG section on the right, and you should be able to find the link under 'debugInfo'.
