Set Activity Controls for Your Account
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
In order to use the Google Assistant, you must share certain activity data with
Google. The Google Assistant needs this data to function properly; this is not
specific to the SDK. To share this data, create a Google account
if you don't already have one.
Open the Activity Controls page
for the Google account that you want to use with the Assistant. You can use any
Google account—it does not need to be your developer account.
Ensure the following toggle switches are enabled (blue):
- Web & App Activity
- In addition, be sure to select the Include Chrome history and activity
from sites, apps, and devices that use Google servicescheckbox.
- Device Information
- Voice & Audio Activity
