Create Virtual Assistants with Python
A flask extension serving as a framework to easily create virtual assistants using Dialogflow which may be integrated
with platforms such as Actions on
Google (Google
Assistant).
Flask-Assistant allows you to focus on building the core business logic
of conversational user interfaces while utilizing Dialogflow's Natural
Language Processing to interact with users.
Now supports Dialogflow V2!
This project is heavily inspired and based on John Wheeler's
Flask-ask for the Alexa
Skills Kit.
Features
- Mapping of user-triggered Intents to action functions
- Context support for crafting dialogue dependent on the user's requests
- Define prompts for missing parameters when they are not present in the users request or past active contexts
- A convenient syntax resembling Flask's decoratored routing
- Rich Responses for Google Assistant

@assist.action("Demo")
def hello_world():
speech = "Microphone check 1, 2 what is this?"
return ask(speech)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)How-To
