Can I use Amazon LEX with Google assistant?

Question

I have made a Chat-Bot using Amazon's LEX.

Is there any way I can use that application using Google's Voice Assistant in my phone?

If not why?

direct integration is not possible right now you have few options here you can use google voice to text library to convert voice into text and then send it to lex and get response back or you can use dialog flow by google if you need further help i'm open for discussion — varnit
@varnit can you please provide me some links on how to do that? — noobie
for that you need to create a custom app are you ok with that ? — varnit

Yes it is possible to use Google's voice assistant application with Amazon Lex as NLP engine.

Go to https://developers.google.com/actions/ and log in
Go to Actions Console using button on top left corner
Create an Amaaon Lex agent
In your actions's SDK use Lex's runtime library to postContent or postText function to call Lex and get intent name
Make your functions in Actions SDK to return fulfillment text

Pseudo Code in Nodejs :

const {actionssdk} = require('actions-on-google');
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const rp = require('request-promise');


const app = actionssdk({debug: true});

app.intent('actions.intent.MAIN', (conv) => {
  conv.ask('Hi!');
});

app.intent('actions.intent.TEXT', (conv, input) => {
  // here you will write code to call amazon lex and pass input text
  intent_name = lex_library(input) 

  return rp({
    intent_name
  })
  .then((res) => {
    // create an intent-action mapper
    const actionMap = {
      name: nameIntent,
      help: helpIntent,
    };
    // check the intent name from Lex
    if (res.intent_name && res.intent_name !== 'None') {

      // Map intents to functions for different responses
      actionMap[res['intent_name']](conv);

    } else {      
      conv.ask('Sorry, I don\'t understand what you mean.');
    }
  })
  .catch((e) => {
    console.log('Error =>', e);
  });
});

function nameIntent(conv) {
  conv.ask('My name is noobie. Hope you are fine!');
} 

function helpIntent(conv) {
  conv.ask('Help response');
}

express().use(bodyParser.json(), app).listen(8888)

Please note that you will need to have understanding of action's sdk and lex runtime library to extend above code according to your need.
This is high level approach to achieve your goal.

Hope it helps.
