| Create an Action within minutes | Select the type of Action you want to build, a personality, and your Google Sheet. That's it; your Action is ready for testing. |
| Build without code | If you know how to fill a spreadsheet, you're ready to build an Action. Fill in a Google Sheet with your content to design your Action's functionality. |
| Choose a pre-defined personality | Pick a pre-defined personality when you create an Action from certain templates, offering a voice, tone, music, sound effects, and natural conversational feel for your Action's users without any work on your end. |
| Expand to different languages | Go global with your Action. Upload a Google Sheet for each language you want to support, and users in those locales will automatically be directed to your Action in their language. To learn more about supporting multiple languages on your Action, check out our articles on Localization. |
| Make an Action for families |
Some template Actions comply with the Actions for Families policies, so you can target your Action for a family audience and receive a "For Families" badge in the Assistant Directory. To learn how to submit your Action for a family audience, first follow our template Action guides to build your Action then reference Submitting your Action on the Actions for Families docs. |
