How long does it take for the app to time out and exit the conversation

How long does it take for the google assistant agent to timeout and end/leave the conversation?

I configured a chat bot with actions-on-google where

  1. The GA would ask user to choose which product to buy from a List.
  2. Then the user locked the phone's screen
  3. After a few minutes, the user reactivates google assistant again
  4. User selects one of the product from the list by scrolling up the history
  5. The transaction proceeds

I expected the app to exit the conversation after a certain duration, which then start a new session.

Solution

  • The session stays alive for 10 minutes. So, if you resume conversation within 10 minutes then it will continue in the same session.

    As per my testing on Google Assistant and Simulator, if the conversation is paused for more than 10 minutes then the conversation ends and app exits.
