‘Actions on Google’ adds shopping via Assistant’s AI chat bot
We’ve seen AI-powered chat bots spread across different services, but Google is opening up a way for more companies to get in on the action. With “Actions on Google,” you can stay in your app (or talking to an Assistant-enabled device like Google Home) to do something like order food. On stage, the demo showed off ordering delivery from Panera, without needing to enter your home address or payment information, or even create a specialized account. This feature has been available since Google Home launched, but only worked with a limited number of services. Now that it supports transactions, it’s about to get a lot more useful.
