EmbeddedAssistant

Service that implements the Google Assistant API.

Assist

rpc Assist(AssistRequest) returns (AssistResponse) Initiates or continues a conversation with the embedded Assistant Service. Each call performs one round-trip, sending an audio request to the service and receiving the audio response. Uses bidirectional streaming to receive results, such as the END_OF_UTTERANCE event, while sending audio. A conversation is one or more gRPC connections, each consisting of several streamed requests and responses. For example, the user says Add to my shopping list and the Assistant responds What do you want to add?. The sequence of streamed requests and responses in the first gRPC message could be: AssistRequest.config AssistRequest.audio_in AssistRequest.audio_in AssistRequest.audio_in AssistRequest.audio_in AssistResponse.event_type.END_OF_UTTERANCE AssistResponse.speech_results.transcript "add to my shopping list" AssistResponse.dialog_state_out.microphone_mode.DIALOG_FOLLOW_ON AssistResponse.audio_out AssistResponse.audio_out AssistResponse.audio_out The user then says bagels and the Assistant responds OK, I've added bagels to your shopping list. This is sent as another gRPC connection call to the Assist method, again with streamed requests and responses, such as: AssistRequest.config AssistRequest.audio_in AssistRequest.audio_in AssistRequest.audio_in AssistResponse.event_type.END_OF_UTTERANCE AssistResponse.dialog_state_out.microphone_mode.CLOSE_MICROPHONE AssistResponse.audio_out AssistResponse.audio_out AssistResponse.audio_out AssistResponse.audio_out Although the precise order of responses is not guaranteed, sequential AssistResponse.audio_out messages will always contain sequential portions of audio. Authorization Scopes Requires the following OAuth scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/assistant-sdk-prototype For more information, see the Auth Guide.

AssistConfig

Specifies how to process the AssistRequest messages.

Fields
audio_out_config	AudioOutConfig Required Specifies how to format the audio that will be returned.
screen_out_config	ScreenOutConfig Optional Specifies the desired format to use when server returns a visual screen response.
dialog_state_in	DialogStateIn Required Represents the current dialog state.
device_config	DeviceConfig Device configuration that uniquely identifies a specific device.
debug_config	DebugConfig Optional Debugging parameters for the whole Assist RPC.
Union field type. type can be only one of the following:
audio_in_config	AudioInConfig Specifies how to process the subsequent incoming audio. Required if AssistRequest.audio_in bytes will be provided in subsequent requests.
text_query	string The text input to be sent to the Assistant. This can be populated from a text interface if audio input is not available.

AssistRequest

The top-level message sent by the client. Clients must send at least two, and typically numerous AssistRequest messages. The first message must contain a config message and must not contain audio_in data. All subsequent messages must contain audio_in data and must not contain a config message.

Fields
Union field type. Exactly one of these fields must be specified in each AssistRequest. type can be only one of the following:
config	AssistConfig The config message provides information to the recognizer that specifies how to process the request. The first AssistRequest message must contain a config message.
audio_in	bytes The audio data to be recognized. Sequential chunks of audio data are sent in sequential AssistRequest messages. The first AssistRequest message must not contain audio_in data and all subsequent AssistRequest messages must contain audio_in data. The audio bytes must be encoded as specified in AudioInConfig. Audio must be sent at approximately real-time (16000 samples per second). An error will be returned if audio is sent significantly faster or slower.

AssistResponse

The top-level message received by the client. A series of one or more AssistResponse messages are streamed back to the client.

Fields
event_type	EventType Output-only Indicates the type of event.
audio_out	AudioOut Output-only The audio containing the Assistant's response to the query.
screen_out	ScreenOut Output-only Contains the Assistant's visual response to the query.
device_action	DeviceAction Output-only Contains the action triggered by the query with the appropriate payloads and semantic parsing.
speech_results[]	SpeechRecognitionResult Output-only This repeated list contains zero or more speech recognition results that correspond to consecutive portions of the audio currently being processed, starting with the portion corresponding to the earliest audio (and most stable portion) to the portion corresponding to the most recent audio. The strings can be concatenated to view the full in-progress response. When the speech recognition completes, this list will contain one item with stability of 1.0.
dialog_state_out	DialogStateOut Output-only Contains output related to the user's query.
debug_info	DebugInfo Output-only Debugging info for developer. Only returned if request set return_debug_info to true.

EventType

Indicates the type of event.

Enums
EVENT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED	No event specified.
END_OF_UTTERANCE	This event indicates that the server has detected the end of the user's speech utterance and expects no additional speech. Therefore, the server will not process additional audio (although it may subsequently return additional results). The client should stop sending additional audio data, half-close the gRPC connection, and wait for any additional results until the server closes the gRPC connection.

AudioInConfig

Specifies how to process the audio_in data that will be provided in subsequent requests. For recommended settings, see the Google Assistant SDK best practices.

Fields
encoding	Encoding Required Encoding of audio data sent in all audio_in messages.
sample_rate_hertz	int32 Required Sample rate (in Hertz) of the audio data sent in all audio_in messages. Valid values are from 16000-24000, but 16000 is optimal. For best results, set the sampling rate of the audio source to 16000 Hz. If that's not possible, use the native sample rate of the audio source (instead of re-sampling).

Encoding

Audio encoding of the data sent in the audio message. Audio must be one-channel (mono).

Enums
ENCODING_UNSPECIFIED	Not specified. Will return result google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT.
LINEAR16	Uncompressed 16-bit signed little-endian samples (Linear PCM). This encoding includes no header, only the raw audio bytes.
FLAC	FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is the recommended encoding because it is lossless--therefore recognition is not compromised--and requires only about half the bandwidth of LINEAR16. This encoding includes the FLAC stream header followed by audio data. It supports 16-bit and 24-bit samples, however, not all fields in STREAMINFO are supported.

AudioOut

The audio containing the Assistant's response to the query. Sequential chunks of audio data are received in sequential AssistResponse messages.

Fields
audio_data	bytes Output-only The audio data containing the Assistant's response to the query. Sequential chunks of audio data are received in sequential AssistResponse messages.

AudioOutConfig

Specifies the desired format for the server to use when it returns audio_out messages.

Fields
encoding	Encoding Required The encoding of audio data to be returned in all audio_out messages.
sample_rate_hertz	int32 Required The sample rate in Hertz of the audio data returned in audio_out messages. Valid values are: 16000-24000.
volume_percentage	int32 Required Current volume setting of the device's audio output. Valid values are 1 to 100 (corresponding to 1% to 100%).

Encoding

Audio encoding of the data returned in the audio message. All encodings are raw audio bytes with no header, except as indicated below.

Enums
ENCODING_UNSPECIFIED	Not specified. Will return result google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT.
LINEAR16	Uncompressed 16-bit signed little-endian samples (Linear PCM).
MP3	MP3 audio encoding. The sample rate is encoded in the payload.
OPUS_IN_OGG	Opus-encoded audio wrapped in an ogg container. The result will be a file which can be played natively on Android and in some browsers (such as Chrome). The quality of the encoding is considerably higher than MP3 while using the same bitrate. The sample rate is encoded in the payload.

DebugConfig

Debugging parameters for the current request.

Fields
return_debug_info	bool When this field is set to true, the debug_info field in AssistResponse may be populated. However it will significantly increase latency of responses.

DebugInfo

Debug info for developer. Only returned if request set return_debug_info to true.

Fields
aog_agent_to_assistant_json	string The original JSON response from an Action-on-Google agent to Google server. See AppResponse. It will only be populated if the request maker owns the AoG project and the AoG project is in preview mode.

DeviceAction

The response returned to the device if the user has triggered a Device Action. For example, a device which supports the query Turn on the light would receive a DeviceAction with a JSON payload containing the semantics of the request.

Fields
device_request_json	string JSON containing the device command response generated from the triggered Device Action grammar. The format is given by the action.devices.EXECUTE intent for a given trait.

DeviceConfig

Required Fields that identify the device to the Assistant.

See also:

• Register a Device - REST API
• Device Model and Instance Schemas
• Device Proto

Fields
device_id	string Required Unique identifier for the device. The id length must be 128 characters or less. Example: DBCDW098234. This MUST match the device_id returned from device registration. This device_id is used to match against the user's registered devices to lookup the supported traits and capabilities of this device. This information should not change across device reboots. However, it should not be saved across factory-default resets.
device_model_id	string Required Unique identifier for the device model. The combination of device_model_id and device_id must have been previously associated through device registration.

DeviceLocation

There are three sources of locations. They are used with this precedence:

1. This DeviceLocation, which is primarily used for mobile devices with GPS .
2. Location specified by the user during device setup; this is per-user, per device. This location is used if DeviceLocation is not specified.
3. Inferred location based on IP address. This is used only if neither of the above are specified.

Fields
coordinates	LatLng Latitude and longitude of device.

DialogStateIn

Provides information about the current dialog state.

Fields
conversation_state	bytes Required This field must always be set to the DialogStateOut.conversation_state value that was returned in the prior Assist RPC. It should only be omitted (field not set) if there was no prior Assist RPC because this is the first Assist RPC made by this device after it was first setup and/or a factory-default reset.
language_code	string Required Language of the request in IETF BCP 47 syntax (for example, "en-US"). See Language Support for more information. If you have selected a language for this device_id using the Settings menu in your phone's Google Assistant app, that selection will override this value.
device_location	DeviceLocation Optional Location of the device where the query originated.
is_new_conversation	bool Optional If true, the server will treat the request as a new conversation and not use state from the prior request. Set this field to true when the conversation should be restarted, such as after a device reboot, or after a significant lapse of time since the prior query.

DialogStateOut

The dialog state resulting from the user's query. Multiple of these messages may be received.

Fields
supplemental_display_text	string Output-only Supplemental display text from the Assistant. This could be the same as the speech spoken in AssistResponse.audio_out or it could be some additional information which aids the user's understanding.
conversation_state	bytes Output-only State information for the subsequent Assist RPC. This value should be saved in the client and returned in the DialogStateIn.conversation_state field with the next Assist RPC. (The client does not need to interpret or otherwise use this value.) This information should be saved across device reboots. However, this value should be cleared (not saved in the client) during a factory-default reset.
microphone_mode	MicrophoneMode Output-only Specifies the mode of the microphone after this Assist RPC is processed.
volume_percentage	int32 Output-only Updated volume level. The value will be 0 or omitted (indicating no change) unless a voice command such as Increase the volume or Set volume level 4 was recognized, in which case the value will be between 1 and 100 (corresponding to the new volume level of 1% to 100%). Typically, a client should use this volume level when playing the audio_out data, and retain this value as the current volume level and supply it in the AudioOutConfig of the next AssistRequest. (Some clients may also implement other ways to allow the current volume level to be changed, for example, by providing a knob that the user can turn.)

MicrophoneMode

Possible states of the microphone after a Assist RPC completes.

Enums
MICROPHONE_MODE_UNSPECIFIED	No mode specified.
CLOSE_MICROPHONE	The service is not expecting a follow-on question from the user. The microphone should remain off until the user re-activates it.
DIALOG_FOLLOW_ON	The service is expecting a follow-on question from the user. The microphone should be re-opened when the AudioOut playback completes (by starting a new Assist RPC call to send the new audio).

ScreenOut

The Assistant's visual output response to query. Enabled by screen_out_config.

Fields
format	Format Output-only The format of the provided screen data.
data	bytes Output-only The raw screen data to be displayed as the result of the Assistant query.

Format

Possible formats of the screen data.

Enums
FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED	No format specified.
HTML	Data will contain a fully-formed HTML5 layout encoded in UTF-8, e.g. <html><body><div>...</div></body></html>. It is intended to be rendered along with the audio response. Note that HTML5 doctype should be included in the actual HTML data.

ScreenOutConfig

Specifies the desired format for the server to use when it returns screen_out response.

Fields
screen_mode	ScreenMode Current visual screen-mode for the device while issuing the query.

ScreenMode

Possible modes for visual screen-output on the device.

Enums
SCREEN_MODE_UNSPECIFIED	No video mode specified. The Assistant may respond as if in OFF mode.
OFF	Screen is off (or has brightness or other settings set so low it is not visible). The Assistant will typically not return a screen response in this mode.
PLAYING	The Assistant will typically return a partial-screen response in this mode.

SpeechRecognitionResult

The estimated transcription of a phrase the user has spoken. This could be a single segment or the full guess of the user's spoken query.

Fields
transcript	string Output-only Transcript text representing the words that the user spoke.
stability	float Output-only An estimate of the likelihood that the Assistant will not change its guess about this result. Values range from 0.0 (completely unstable) to 1.0 (completely stable and final). The default of 0.0 is a sentinel value indicating stability was not set.
