I am happy to present you the step by step process of building the application that will be integrated with your own Google Assistant device. But first, what is a Google Assistant? Why you should create a Google Assistant application?

You can already use Google Assistant to control a Nest Secure system, but the company is taking things one step further. From now on, the Guard hub at the heart of Secure can serve as a Google Assistant device. You can ask about the weather before you set the alarm without having to be in shouting distance of a dedicated smart speaker, for instance. Common features like Routines, reminders and smart home control will work as well. You can't disarm your security system by voice, and you'll need a Nest Hello doorbell to have Assistant announce a familiar face at the door.

The Lenovo Smart Display gives Google Assistant a face and, well, it's kind of beautiful. As promised at CES and then again at Google I/O, Lenovo is finally rolling out the first Google Assistant device with a display, delivering a fresh new spin on the smart home speaker. While Amazon has been selling its Echo Show for more than a year (and the smaller Echo Spot for about half as long), Google has taken its time with building its visual Assistant. We've seen glimpses of it on our phones, cars, and TVs (using Chromecast for the last), but Google Assistant on the Lenovo Smart Display isn't just a cobbling together of Assistant's existing screen appearances. It's an entirely new interface that adds a deep new dimension to Assistant, at once showing the limitation of voice and opening up Google's AI to far more possibilities.
