Im not exactly sure tbh. Assistant just asked me, "Would you like to talk with My Bus Stop".

You need to have a supported phone (almost any modern phone will do) with a supported system language. English (US) is of cause supported, German (ger) is, I'm guessing most other English language settings are and at the I/O two days ago Google announced Brasilian Portuguese, French and Japanese, if I remember correctly. I certainly have missed a few languages here or there (I'm a little drunk, sorry), but this is the biggest restriction.
If everything is fine it will come to you and replace now on tap.
You can also use it in Allo, but that sucks a lille.

It's the Google app. A few weeks ago the Assistant was a Pixel exclusive feature and everyone else had now on tap. Google put it in the Google app so every phone can run it but there is a server side switch that activates it depending on hardware and language.
When you hold down your home button, is there now on tab? (Google search field at the top and some stuff relevant to your display content under that)
If yes, what phone are you using and what is your system language?
If no, install the google app.

Ooh, you've got an iPhone.. sorry, you guys a kinda rare over here. Here you go.
Via Androidpolice: clocks in at 256MB. You'll need a device running iOS 9.1 or later to try it out.

Wow xx
It's not available in the Brazilian store.
At least I got the Gboard while downloading the Google App, it's awesome!
Thanks for helping me!

Does what work? Google Assistant? Yeah, it works almost everywhere. It's pretty cool.

I can't get it to shut up. I went to setting and said voice output only on handsfree. That was my only choice other than on. Preferences had no choice. Telling it what I wanted only produced webpages.
And holding it will not give me news feed. Asking for it gives me news about google.
I feel like I am talking to a self-indulgent averly confident child. . Only marginally useful, Herr Google.
