i would like to have a google talk button on my website to launch google chat option
i know it used to be possible but i can't find the code for it.
the Hangout video button code is available at the below address.
https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button
But i can't find one for the chat option that is available via google plus profiles and gmail...
i would really like to launch the google talk option via a button directly from my website for a text chatting option... can anyone help please :) ???
There used to be such a button till May, 2013
google talk button
But now, it has been replaced by hangouts
Google talk official documentation
"We announced a new communications product, Hangouts, in May 2013. Hangouts will replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP."

There is a handy option in DialogFlow to integrate it into a website without any hassle. Is there any option of the same kind for wit.ai? What are the steps to do so?
if you want to have your bot deployed on your website using wit you can actually use their customer webchat (which is like having your messenger deployed on your website) see documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/discovery/customer-chat-plugin/
I work for a publication and would like to find out how I can enable our site to be read by Google Home or if there's something I need to do to set that up. I've looked at the Google Assistant SDK but it seems to be geared more towards custom commands to your own device like a Raspberry Pi etc.
Thank you!
You're right, the Google Assistant SDK is for building your own Assistant hardware.
The Actions on Google API is for building Actions that work with the Google Assistant on multiple platforms. With this, you can build an Action that responds to requests to "Hey Google, Talk to your action name". Google also reviews these Actions periodically to find ones that may more directly respond to questions such as "Hey Google, tell me the news".
There is currently no way to explicitly have your audio included as part of Google Assistant's "Good Morning" news briefing list, although Google may use RSS streams or other public feeds to make such content available.
Update
Google just announced formalizing what they call Content Actions, which are the formal way to get specific content such as poscasts, news, and recipes through the Assistant. See the documentation for details, but in your case, they've documented what the RSS feed should look like.
I'm having a hard time finding the right information, but we are working on a project where users would be able to create/schedule live webinars that would run off Google's Hangout On Air.
A user would be on our website and schedule the webinar which would create a hangout on air with google and send back the youtube link so it could be embedded into the users page on our website. Now I know how to embed a single hangout, but you have to run through googles interface to set it up.
I found a company called webinarjam that actually accomplished this, but I cannot figure out how or what API they tapped into. So would you know how to accomplish this or another alternative that would have a simple interface?
I've found tutorial on how to link to a hangout but I want to show people inbound that I'm online with hangouts so they can contact me.
Is there a way to do this?
Ether develop a Hangout Extension that can save your personal PHP link page URL, and "tell it" when you enter a Hangout, or just create the PHP link page that you can go to and provide the link info yourself. I suggest a periodic keep-alive rather than count on Hangouts API telling your page as it closes.
Great info to be found in the Developing with Google+ community, as well as the Getting Started page in Hangouts API documentation.
Hope this helps!
Had a question about Google's support for XMPP. I want to build a mobile chat client on top of google chat that can interoperate with google chat run from within Gmail or any other service. Would this application be possible to build since has announced that it will drop support for XMPP for their new Hangouts product? Are there any alternative techniques to allow interoperable chat with Google accounts?
Actually, they removed server to server (s2s) federation.
Third-party software works as client to server (c2s) is still enabled, even if we don't know for how long.
As Google says
Note: We announced a new communications product, Hangouts, in May 2013. Hangouts will > replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP. The information in this Developer's > Guide pertains only to Google Talk.

What's annoying is that users who have switched to Hangouts still show up as online if you have added them as a contact; your messages to them just go into a black hole.
From what I can tell, non-hangouts-enabled users can still connect and chat with non-Google users just fine using XMPP.
Hangouts does not support XMPP as of today's release. This was a difficult decision taken by Google :(
