# Google Assistant SDK

> Google Assistant SDK is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 12.4k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Google Assistant SDK is a built-in integration that sends text commands to Google Assistant from Home Assistant. It adds an action for sending a command as a text query, and it also provides notifier entities. A language code option sets the language used for requests and responses. It depends on Google's cloud and signs in through Google's own sign-in page using application credentials. Setup is done in the UI, and connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
