The Google Assistant Service gives you full control over the integration with the Assistant by providing a streaming endpoint. Stream a user audio query to this endpoint to receive a Google Assistant audio response.
You can generate bindings for this API from a variety of languages (for example, Go, Node.js, C++, and Java) on all platforms supported by gRPC.
Basic hardware requirements
Before you begin, you'll need the following components:
- A device running on one of the supported platforms, with internet connectivity
