How to show list of products in google assistant without selecting any of them?

Currently i am building a chatbot where i need to display list of products with its description. I tried Carousel, Browsable Carousel and List but they all allow to select any options from the list.

I want to display the products but do not allow to select any of them. enter image description here

I am using dialogflow as NLP and sending fulfillment using action-on-google's dialogflow node.js library.

Can anyone help me implementing this ?

You can try sending a single Basic Card with an image, if that is suitable for the response. You can also look into using a Table Card, however it doesn't allow for images in the cells - just a single image for the table.

There is no way to prevent a List or Carousel item from being selected, but you can certainly handle the response by ignoring what they've selected and re-prompting them with whatever you've prompted them with after showing the carousel/list. (Or even just re-showing the list and re-prompting them.)

However, it really isn't clear why the items are for information only and that speaking them isn't intended to continue the conversation. Would it make sense that, if a user selected one, you might provide additional information that can be useful? What would a user expect?
