Glitch is a developer playground that lets you code a real web-app without the slow setup and deployment steps. You can use Glitch to build an API backend that fulfills webhook requests from API.ai by providing a response for the Assistant to read to the user.
On the back-end,
- your app starts at
server.js - add frameworks and packages in
package.json - safely store app secrets in
.env
