This skill enables Alexa to perform searches using the Google Search engine instead of Bing. It also provides full Google assistant functionality via your Amazon Echo as if you were speaking to Google Home.
This how to video tutorial to guide you through the process of installing the unofficial Google Assistant Skill for Alexa, it will take you through the process step by step in typical Paul Hibbert fashion. The Google Assistant Skill was created by the Amazing Ross (Tartan Guru) all credit to him, see the bottom of this description for ways to say thank you. If you have installed the Google Assistant skill previously then there is no need to follow this tutorial! The tutorial has been re-created because Amazon changed their interface so much that it ruined my previous tutorials.
