Assistant Pi

AssistantPi is basically a tweak of AlexaPi allowing you to run Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa on a Raspberry Pi. It includes the Google Assistant SDK and uses AlexaPi's hotword recognition to activate either Assistant or Alexa. The installer provides an easy way to get everything set up in just under an hour.

This is just an experimental proof-of-concept without broad support.
