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.

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.
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 am trying to develop an agent using DialogFlow. When doing this, it is possible to debug the agent via the link https://console.dialogflow.com/api-client/#/assistant_preview .This (sort of) works as far as it allows me to interact with my agent etc. On the DialogFlow integrations page I can create a "Web Demo". Typing in exactly the same interactions with the web demo when trying to perform user sign in fails, where as on the simulator it works.
This may be similar to Dialogflow Agent works in Google simulator, failed in console and web link
Surely both methods of interaction should work the same way otherwise this is impossible to test with any level of confidence.
User sign-in is an Assistant feature that Dialogflow supports, but it is not a Dialogflow feature.
The Web Demo is just that - a demo. You can use the Dialogflow Detect Intent API and provide your own authentication system through that if that's what you're trying to do.
If you're looking to test just the Dialogflow interaction, you can test that using the simulator on the right hand side of the page.
I am developing an Azure bot, and I am intending to link it to Cortana channel. But not sure if that need the speech to text to be part of the services needed to create that bot. or Cortana client handles the communication between cortana and the bot with the text?
Responding via speech is completely under your control. The entire Cortana experience can be driven via text entry on Windows 10 and mobile app. However, your skill may not pass certification if published because of screen-less devices like the Invoke and best practice of responding with voice is triggered by voice. You can pull DeviceInfo and fail gracefully if there is no display.
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.
