Google Actions can run on both phones and Google Home. When developing, it is useful to know the capabilities of a user's device. For example, you would not want to serve up an image to a user on a Google Home as it has no screen. To help, you'll find two properties set on context.session:

• hasScreen
• hasAudio

if (context.user.hasScreen) {
  // Respond with rich content
} else {
  // Respond with text
}
