I had a problem with this software, I don't know what expectations should I have and how it does work exactly.
I would love to have software guide or technical documentation for end-users and also tests for CI/CD.

Hi @shavidzet, thanks for reaching out! I haven't this application in a while, if I find some time next week I'll try to get it running again.

The way it used to work is that once you've got your keys setup for the Google Assistant API:
https://github.com/ItsWendell/google-assistant-desktop-client

And you install your node modules (also in the readme, npm install && npm start), it should start working, you'll see an overlay with a microphone and / or a text field on your screen where you can talk to the Google Assistant like you would on Android.

Hi @ItsWendell, I also think that there should be more detailed instructions for this awesome project. Could you create a step-by-step guide for newbies (like me) so that we can also enjoy this project?

I keep on getting errors. If I ignore them, then the program launches correctly. However, I get no overlay (shows up as a window but it isn't there).

I want this to work, as it seems like an awesome and cool program to have running on my computer.

Perhaps you could write a detailed guide or walk me through the steps to get this running?
