We are doing chatbot project using dialogflow currently. I am confused about the relationship between google action and dialogflow agent.
Dialogflow agent is a chatbot supported via NLP engine. When you create an agent, you can create intents that agents can respond. So, it is a simple text based bot.
Google Action(or Actions on Google) is a kind of platform app for Google Assistant. By building this, you can have an assistant app which works on Google Assistant. It is a chatbot with rich response (such as carousels, basic cards, suggestion chips etc.)
When you create a DialogFlow agent, you can use it in a various platform (such as messenger, telegram etc.). If you integrate it with Actions on Google project and deploy, you will have an assistant app.

I want to create a App like Google Assistant to integrate with Dialogflow. Is there any way to do so? How can we create an app to send rich response to dialogflow?
I build an agent on google Dialogflow and want it to integrate with Hangout Chatbot, but the option is not present in the integrations option. Why is that so? As I have worked with my friend and in his Google Dialogflow account hangout option is available in the integration field of Dialogflow.

If you own a Google Workspace account, then you can do it, as it says the integration is only available for Google Workspace users. See https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/es/docs/integrations/hangouts
In DialogFlow exists an option to integrate automatically to Messenger from Facebook. How can I do the same integration using Action Builder on Actions Console? Is it possible or a hybrid version is a better option to implement?
Thanks a lot!
No, there is no integration in actionbuilder to integrate with any platforms other than Google Assistant. Action builder is intended to improve development for actions for Google Assistant by bringing the conversation design part of development into the Actions Console.
If you want to develop for Messenger you are better off sticking with Dialogflow.
I am a newbie creating a service with Dialogflow. Under Service Settings gear wheel there is an option called Speech. I have chosen a male voice (en-US-Wavenet-A).
When I click "See how it works in Google Assistant" on the right and run the simulation on my Google Home device it does not use the male voice. It uses a female voice. How do I make the simulation use the voice that I have specified?
The "Speech" setting (which is only enabled if you have beta features turned on) is only valid for some of the integrations in Dialogflow. Specifically, if you're using the V2 API directly (ie - you're sending audio using the Detect Intent API) or if you're using the telephony integration.
If you just plan to use Dialogflow for your Action on the Google Assistant - you shouldn't be making any changes in this section. These only apply to telephony and the API. And if you're developing for telephony or the API, then you shouldn't be testing with the Google Assistant simulator.
If you want to set the voice for an Action, you need to use the Actions console under the "Invocation" setting. The speech settings in Dialogflow don't apply to Actions with the Assistant.
Is there a generic approach to develope Amazon Echo skills and Google Home actions?
API.AI has integrations with both Alexa and Google Home, plus more.
API.AI is a natural language understanding platform that makes it easy to design and integrate intelligent and sophisticated conversational user interfaces into mobile apps, web applications, devices, and bots.
Their Alexa integration feature allows you to export your agent as Alexa compatible files, which include Intent Schema and Utterances.
With Actions on Google integration, you can preview your Conversation Action with the Google Home Web Simulator and deploy your agent so that other users can discover and use it on the Google Home.
