Ready, Set, Action!
Ethos 10: Creating a voice app for Google Home
Event summary
In honor of thirteen23’s 10th Ethos event, we took back the spotlight and hosted a free Voice Design workshop, presented by our own designers and developers at thirteen23.
The Google Assistant has a lot of great functionality, but wouldn’t it be better to customize it just for you, some friends, or even the whole world?
In this Ethos workshop, we teach Ethos attendees how to create their own Google Assistant Action. We cover best practices for conversational design and walk through all the steps necessary to build an Action. The best part? No coding experience is necessary!
