I have a smart home Action. Is this affected?
If your smart home Action is built with the smart home API and integrated with Home Graph, then your Action is unaffected by the turndown. If your smart home Action was built as a Conversational Action, it is affected by this turndown. You should have been contacted by our smart home team about a migration path.
I have an App Action. Is this affected?
No, it is not affected. For more information, see the App Actions section.

The Assistant Directory will be removed.
What does it mean when we say “Google may provide a Text-To-Speech (TTS) notice”?
During contextually relevant times, Assistant will provide the Text-To-Speech Notice to users before the handoff to the Converational Action. Assistant will be managing the number of times the Text-To-Speech Notice will be given to the user, limiting it to a handful of times a week.
