Hi,

Welcome to my course on building your first Google Assistant Application using Java and Spring Boot framework.

I am happy to present you the step by step process of building the application that will be integrated with your own Google Assistant device.

But first, what is a Google Assistant?

• is Google's voice assistant

• offers voice commands, voice searching, and voice-activated device control, letting you complete a number of tasks after you've said the OK Google or Hey, Google wake words

• a personal assistant that it's used globally

Why you should create a Google Assistant application?

• you can customize your interaction with your Google personal Assistant in the way you want

• learn how Google Assistant actually works

• impress your friends by showing what your Google Assistant device is capable of doing

What will we build under this course?

• will build a simple Book Management Collection Application that will provide us the flexibility to interact with the Google Assistant

• we use the most popular Java based framework on the market (Spring Boot) in order to build our application

• how do we store data you might ask? For this we will use MySQL Database

• create our Google Assistant actions under Dialogflow and communicate with our Java back-end service using a bonus tool that I will present called NGROK

• setup the infrastructure of building your own Actions On Google project requirements

Do you need a real Google Assistant device to take this course?

• You don't need a real device

• I will show you different ways to test the application under simulators

• Will show you how this application runs on a real Google Assistant device

Do you need to know Java or Spring Boot framework to build this app?

• Not really. I will explain the entire process of building the application from scratch/you will learn on the go. But indeed, if you know Java and/or Spring Boot it will help you on your way.

I am happy to help and respond to any questions you might have on your course journey.

Now...let's build together this app for Google Assistant.

Enjoy
