For Oath’s 2018 Hackathon Challenge I was part of a team that created a Google Assistant action for reading HuffPost articles via Google Home, with Gemini native advertising integration.
I contributed to the initial ideation, research, the creation of the Google Action and creating the promo video.
Description
A reader bot for HuffPost that allows a user to navigate through articles via conversation, read article summaries or save them for later on their mobile device. Whilst being awesome for the user, it also solves the problem for the publisher on how to monetize the content when accessed without a web browser, as the reader enhances their RSS feeds using ads from Gemini.
It is integrated with Google Home & Assistant, but can be integrated into other dialog conversation platforms like Amazon Alexa or Facebook Messenger.
