How do I create an agent that launches other intents?

Using the agent code API.AI

, I can create conversational agents for use with the Google Home wireless speakerphone. It basically asks a question, get an oral answer.

Is there a way to code a response that is not just a response but actually a direct action? For example: Purpose: Switch to radio station 2 Answer: Play 88.3 New York Radio and it should work as if I asked to play this radio station.

This could be what Google calls "Direct Actions". But I understand that it is not yet available. Is it correct that there is no way to do what I need above - essentially, one intent to start another Google Action intent - in this case, to have it play on radio stations? I was wondering if there is any web hockey / run hook code that can do this today.

Currently, you cannot proxy from one activity to another. Direct actions are yet to be released.



You will need to get your webhook to handle the parameter based implementation.
