- Updates to the app directory: We're adding what's new and what's trendingsections in the app directory within the Assistant experience on your phone. These dynamic sections will constantly change and evolve, creating more opportunities for your app to be discovered by users in all supported locales where the Google Assistant and Actions on Google are available. We're also introducing autocomplete in the directory's search box, so, if a user doesn't quite remember the name of your app, it will populate as they type.
- New subcategories: We've created subcategories in the app directory, so if you click on a category like "Food & Drink", apps are broken down into additional subcategories, like "Order Food" or "View a Menu." We're using your app's description and sample invocations to map users' natural search queries to the new task-based subcategories. The updated labelling taxonomy improves discovery for your app; it will now surface for users in all relevant subcategories depending on its various capabilities. This change will help you communicate to users everything your app can do, and creates new avenues for your app to be discovered – learn more here.
International support: Users will soon be able to find your apps in even more languages because starting today, you can build apps in Spanish (US, MX and ES), Italian, Portuguese (BR) and English (IN). And in the UK, developers can now start building apps that have transactional capabilities. Watch the internationalization video to learn how to support multiple languages with Actions on Google.
