At the I/O 2019 event, Google introduced new tools and updates for developers working with Actions on Google, aiming to enhance user engagement across web, mobile, and smart home platforms. These enhancements include support for How-to markup, which allows web developers to provide rich, interactive search results and Google Assistant responses, as well as a How-to Video Template for video creators to transform content into step-by-step tutorials. App Actions have been expanded with built-in intents for new categories like Health & Fitness and Ridesharing, enabling voice-activated app integration. For smart home developers, the Local Home SDK was announced to improve device communication speed and reliability, and Assistant Connect was introduced to facilitate the integration of Google Assistant features into smart devices. Additionally, a developer preview of Interactive Canvas was launched, allowing the creation of full-screen experiences on Smart Displays and Android phones using familiar web technologies. These developments aim to provide developers with more opportunities to connect their content and services with users through voice and interactive interfaces.
