For a long time now, Google has provided the Google Assistant SDK free to use for developers. This SDK runs on almost any platform, which is awesome! However it's headless, which means it doesn't have an actual interface. It's just code. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone built out an actual client for it on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Now it's happened - GitHub user Melvin-Abraham has started a smooth, consistent, and cross-platform interface for the Assistant! Right now you have to sign in as a developer and there's no user friendly way to do it. However, the project is well on its way to being a professional client, and its functionality is mostly complete. I'm not a part of the project (yet!) nor have I contributed to it (also yet!), but I just wanted to share this useful project with you! If you get a chance, definitely check it out and give it a shot.
