functions-samples/assistant-say-number

Google Assistant action that reads the ordinal of a number.

This sample shows how to create an action for the Google Home/Assistant using the Actions SDK hosted on Cloud Functions. The sample action asks users to say a number and reads out the ordinal of that number.

e.g. If the user says "Twelve" the action will say "The ordinal of twelve is twelfth".
