It handles the gRPC transport layer and credential management, reducing boilerplate for applications that need to integrate Assistant capabilities without building a full voice interface.\n\nThe library depends on google-auth, grpcio, protobuf, and requests to manage authentication and communicate with Google's servers. It requires Python 3.11 or later and a valid OAuth credentials file (obtained through Google Cloud setup). The package is actively maintained, has no known security vulnerabilities, and installs with minimal friction.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to send text commands to Google Assistant from a Python application and have already obtained OAuth credentials. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, and is licensed permissively. Be aware that many Assistant features (routines, media controls, broadcast commands) have known limitations documented by Google, so verify your use case works before committing to it."},"id":"gassist-text","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gassist-text","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gassist-text.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gassist-text/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-07","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gassist-text","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python library for interacting with Google Assistant API via text"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73499,"position":14989,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.14"}
