I love the idea of Google Home. I want it. But I'm really cheap and don't want to fork out the $129 (and now $99 for a limited time only). What I do have is a Raspberry Pi.
What I would like to do is have access to the Google Home (note: NOT the Amazon Echo) libraries, or APIs that can be used on a Debian install. I may upgrade to a full PC running Ubuntu to do this as well, but would really like to get this working on a Pi3 running Raspbian. Is this possible?

Sure, why not? According to this article from the Verge (as much as I hate the Verge):
Google also promises to launch a Embedded Google Assistant SDK, which will allow tinkerers to load Google Assistant on a Raspberry Pi Pac man world for pc.

YES! It is now possible and on a Raspberry Pi as well!
