+# # Several voice assistant plugins and engines are available - Google
+# # Assistant, Alexa, DeepSpeech, Picovoice etc.
+# #
+# # The Google Assistant is probably the most straightforward to configure and
+# # the richest in terms of features provided out-of-the-box and speech
+# # detection quality, while others may require further tinkering, may perform
+# # worse than the Google model, and/or may run models on-device which could not
+# # be within reach for some machines.

+# # Check the documentation of the `assistant.google` plugin for instructions on
+# # how to get a credentials file that you can use with a custom assistant
+# # installation.
+# #
+# # Note however that the Google Assistant plugin leverages the
+# # `google-assistant-library`, which has been deprecated a while ago by Google
+# # and it's unlikely to receive updates (although it still works and I'd still
+# # expect it to work).
