Required Links, Steps & Commands-

1. Python- Click here 

2. Project Page- Click Here

3. Click on “Create Project” up top.

4. Name the Project “My Google Assistant” and click “Create.”

5.Wait a few seconds for the Console to create your new Project. You should see a spinning progress icon in the top right. After it is     done creating your Project, you will be brought to your Project’s configuration page.

6. Click this link  to go straight to the Google Assistant API page. Up top, click “Enable.”

7. Google will warn you that you need to create credentials to use this API. Click “Create credentials” in the top right. This will take         you to a setup wizard page where Google helps you figure out what kind of credentials you need to use this API.

8. Under “where will you be calling the API from”, select “Other UI (e.g. Windows, CLI tool)“. For “what data will you be accessing”            select the “User data” circle. Now tap “what credentials do I need?”

9.  Google should recommend that you create an OAuth 2.0 client ID. Name the Client ID anything you want, for example, your name     + Desktop. Once done picking a name, click “create client ID.”

10. Under “product name shown to users” enter “My Google Assistant.” Click continue.

11. Click “done.” There’s no need to click download here as we only need the client secret, which we will download next.

12. Now under the list of OAuth 2.0 client IDs, you should see the client ID you just made. All the way to the right, click on the

      download icon to download the client_secret_XXX.json file, where ‘XXX’ is your client ID. Save this file anywhere on your

      computer, ideally in a new folder called “googleassistant.”

13. Go to the Activity controls page for your Google account and make sure that “Web & App Activity”, “Location History”, “Device

       Information”, and “Voice & Audio Activity” are enabled. This is so Google Assistant can actually read you personalized    

       information.

 

 

Install the Google Assistant Sample Python Project

Open up a terminal/command prompt window and go through the following steps. First, enter this command:

1. py -m pip install google-assistant-sdk[samples]

 

You should see a whole bunch of dependencies being downloaded and installed when you enter this command. These are needed for the sample Python project to work. Wait for it to finish.

 

Once it’s done, next enter the following command (make sure to adjust the path):

2. py -m googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers --client-secrets path\to\your\client_secret_XXX.apps.googleusercontent.com.json

 

In the command prompt, you will see a response telling you to visit a URL in order to authorize the application.

 

Copy and paste this URL into your browser. Select the same Google account that you used to configure the Google Assistant API. On the next page, you will see a text box that contains your client’s Access Token.

Copy that Access token and paste it into the command prompt where it asks you for the authorization code. If done correctly, you will see a response that your credentials have been saved.

 

 

 

Test the Google Assistant

The first thing you’ll want to test is whether or not Google Assistant is able to record audio from your microphone. Enter the following command into a command prompt, which will record 5 seconds of audio and play it back to you:

3. py -m googlesamples.assistant.audio_helpers

If you hear your audio played back to you, then enter this command to begin talking to Google Assistant:

4. py -m googlesamples.assistant

Wait for the command prompt to say “press Enter to send a new request”, then press Enter to begin talking to Google Assistant. After you’re done speaking, the command prompt will display a transcript of what you just stated and then play back the response. If you see a warning afterwards, just ignore it.
