+[Google Assistant] is an AI-powered voice assistant that runs on the Raspberry Pi and x86 platforms. It runs on-device and is Private by Design.
+
+To enable access to the Google Assistant API, do the following:
+1) In the Cloud Platform Console, go to the Projects page. Select an existing project or create a new [project]
+2) Enable the Google Assistant [API] on the project you selected
+3) Create a [service account] and download the json credentials. 
+
+Now install and activate the [Samba] add-on so you can upload your training data. Connect to the "share" Samba share and copy your training data over. Name the file `assistant.zip`.
+
+Now it's time to start Snips for the first time. When the Snips add-on starts, it will output your audio devices:
+
+```plain
+**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
+card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]
+  Subdevices: 8/8
+  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
+  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
+  Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
+  Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
+  Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
+  Subdevice #6: subdevice #6
+  Subdevice #7: subdevice #7
+card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI]
+  Subdevices: 1/1
+  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+```
+
+You need to use this information to configure the `mic` and `speaker` configuration options. The format is `<card #>,<device #>`. On a Raspberry Pi 3, `0,0` is the built-in headset port, `0,1` is the HDMI port.
+
+Now that you've found the microphone and speaker addresses, it's time to configure Google Assistant and restart the add-on.
+
+### Add-On configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "mic": "1,0",
+  "speaker": "1,0",
+  "service_account": "service_account.json",
+}
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **mqtt_bridge** (*Optional*): Snips uses MQTT to communicate and defaults to their own broker. Use this config option to bridge their broker to your own.
+- **mic**: This is the hardware address of your microphone. Look at the Snips 
+
+### {% linkable_title Home Assistant configuration %}
+
+Use the Home Assistant [Snips.ai component][comp] to integrate the add-on into Home Assistant.
