(Flashcard Study Buddy)

"Okay Google, talk to Flashcard Study Buddy"

A Quizlet app for Google Assistant.

Resources

Google Assistant apps operate on a cycle between a function (fullfillment) and an intent (agent).

Intents/Agent (user says something )--> (through Actions) --> Functions/Fullfullment (app says something) --> (through Contexts) --> Intents/Agent

Intents are basically when the app waits for the user to respond. Functions handle all the logic behind the app.

Data is stored between intents as ApiAiApp.data.* which is useful for storing sets.

Using the Number Genie example set by Google:
All intents are triggered through contexts (except for the beginning intent, which is triggered by an event called GOOGLE_ASSISTANT_WELCOME)
Input contexts are set by functions using ApiAiApp.setContext(context). The context is a string (used in API.AI). Contexts can be used for multiple intents (in the case of yes/no questions for example, both the yes intent and no intent have the same context, but different keywords to trigger different actions).
Intents trigger actions, which in the API.AI console are strings. These strings are assigned to constants in the example, which are then used as keys to a map called the actionMap. The actionMap links actions (strings) to functions.

Roadblock - No way to get user id. (Quizlet sends the user id with the access token in JSON format, but that is completely handled by Google. We need to find a loophole in the API to retrieve the current user id)

Answer checking (may be hard) and maybe multiple choice parsing
Collect limited user data and keep a history of tested sets by user for faster set retrieval/more personalized experience
Searching your own user's set
Better search option to match sets better using Quizlet's API
Repeating stuff when reading flash cards/general ("What did you say?")
