Actions on Google / Google Assistant

How does Actions on Google work?

10k view:
voice -> parse (via API.AI) -> fullfillment (via API.AI or Lambda)

Detail view:
Voice -> API.AI -> Intents -> Entity (similar to enum) + Action (ex, 'list.tasks') -> Response: in API.AI or webhook (-> Lambda)

For fullfillment, you can use local machine with ngrok or, you can deploy Lambda directly to staging.
