Google shuts down voice dialogs

As of June 13, 2023, Google will shut down all so-called "conversational actions" for their Google Assistant. Every action that involves a speech dialog, like food ordering, games, educational apps, story telling, every application that requires questions and answers, will be canceled. Effectively, the Google Assistant is crippled down to a simple command-and-control interface.

An Alexa skill for New York City transport service changes

Playing around with the idea of Alexa Skills based on live data feeds, I created an Alexa Skill which announces unplanned service changes of the New York City subway and bus lines, based on information provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). This skill, available in English and German, was now certified and has gone live.
