| 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.

============================
The skill will default to US English and the Google Assistant will think you live in either West Virginia or Dublin depending on which AWS region you used
To change the language to another language and set your location you will need to have the very latest version of Google Assistant installed on your iOS or Android phone.
Using the Google Assistant App on your phone/tablet follow these instructions to set the language to German (the skill will be listed as “Alexa Assistant v1” in the devices section of settings):
developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/assistant-settings
You will probably want to turn on the personal results option in the Assistant App as well
