Only send two simple responses, at most.

If you're using the actions-on-google library, this means you only call conv.ask() with a text string twice in a response. If you're using the dialogflow-fulfillment library, you can only call agent.add() with a text string twice.

One way around this is to build the string you want to send as a response before you call conv.ask() or agent.add(). This way you're sending back just one simple response, even if it contains additional information. There is a 640 character limit on each string sent.

In general - you shouldn't need more than one response. You can say a lot with 640 characters! Having two is to allow for multiple chat bubbles in visual responses where it might make sense (for example, if you wanted to send a reply in one, and prompt something else in the next). Allowing longer than this probably means your response is too long, which can be unpleasant for a spoken conversational design. How long do you listen to someone before you tune them out?
