Apprentice is a library for deploying and developing actions via Dialogflow and Google Cloud Functions.

Apprentice

Apprentice is a framework built for developing Google Actions via Dialogflow and Google Cloud (serverless) Functions.

Includes:

• plug-and-play feel to get going quickly
• basic Dialogflow API 2.0 response handling
• local setup for quick iteration

Installation

pip install apprentice

Quickstart

We recommend you read the full tutorial here.

A Google Action project will consist of two things:

1. Dialogflow Intent
2. A webhook to satisfy your users intent

To generate a "Hello World" webhook, run:

$ apprentice init

This will create a file structure:

src/
    main.py
    requirements.txt

Run a local server with

$ apprentice run

and expose to localhost port via an https tunnel. Then add the url to the fulfillment webhook in Dialogflow.

For a more indepth example please see the tutorial I wrote here.

Deployment

Note

gcloud cli must be installed and authorized for the following command to work. If you wish to not have gcloud cli installed, you can copy the file contents via the gcloud function dashboard.

$ apprentice -f hello_world -s hello_world_agent -e hello_world

This will generate the command to execute a gcloud function deploy via the cli.
