Actions for Families
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Create actions for Google Assistant that engage the whole family.
From learning to fun, Google Assistant helps people of all ages. Build
Actions to engage with families across over 1 billion devices with Google
Assistant.
Dedicated Discovery
As part of our Actions for Families program, your Action will display a badge in
the Assistant directory that lets parents know
it's family-friendly.
Additionally, Actions that are especially high quality will be eligible for
conversational discovery opportunities. For example, when Assistant users ask to
"play a game", your high quality Action may be presented.

Storytelling
Bring a story to life with an Action that tells tales and brings families on adventures, pushing the boundaries of imagination.
Program eligibility
Google Assistant's Actions for Families (AFF) program is open to developers who have demonstrated the ability to create family-friendly experiences. Developers who wish to participate in the AFF program must verify that they have a Teacher-Approved app on Google Play, unless they have entered into a partnership agreement with Google for their family-friendly Action.
All developers in the AFF program are required to comply with the same content and experience policies and remain subject to audits for compliance.
