Anyone noticed google assistant works without the google assistant app downloaded? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm very confused what the google assistant app is for if google assistant works perfectly with just the "google" app.
I do mean everything works.
-Clock assistant routine
-unlock phone with hey google hotword
-etc...
Anyone know what purpose the google assistant app is for?

OK Google Hotword from google app

I've flashed RR 18th May build along with Micro GApps. In the google app -> settings -> voice -> there is no option for "OK google voice detection from app". Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a google assistant thing?
Whenever I say OK Google on the google app screen, it brings up the trusted voice setup. Is this the same for everyone with Google Assistant?
Thanks

The Google app needs to be a system app. Else it won't work.

how do you enable google assistant in android Oify

I installed android Oify and I noticed it has a google assistant checkbox, but its greyed out and it says the google app v7 is not supported, what google app version do I need?

Google Assistant voice change option not showing up

Hi there! Can you change your voice assistant voice in the google app in the S9? Most of my friends who use it has this option, wondering why mine doesn't have that option. Is it showing for you?

"Ok Google" with other assistant app

Hi,
I used "Ok Google" detection perfectly with another assistant app (Greenify, needs it for long press home button action).
But then the home screen calendar notifications got stuck and I had to reset Google App.
Since then it doesn't work anymore.
I can setup Google assistant perfectly, "Ok Google" detection works and all.
But when I set Greenify as default assistant it Google assistant starts misbehaving.
First it does not work at all anymore. I can select only "Basic voice recognition" the option for "Google" is greyed out.
Then when I change back to Google assistant as default and back again to Greenify. Suddenly "Ok Google" detection works.
Still it's basic recognition and Google is greyed out. Problem is now the assistant activates multiple times (I get the activation sound) and basically just a transparent overlay opens but nothing more happens.
I have no idea how to fix this. I feel I tried everything up until now. Especially everything you find on multiple guides on google pages.
I wouldn't mind if it didn't work before, so I know it definitely should work!

Prevent Greenify to send Google Assistant to sleep ( put it into Doze mode ).

Thanks, but unfortunately that's exempted already.
I managed to get it back.
I uninstalled all updates to the Google app.
Then disabled and force stopped it.
Restarted.
Then I choose Greenify as assistant. No voice was available.
Then I reactivated Google app. Now it was available as voice.
Then I updated the app and restarted.
It now is back as assistant but Greenify still has the home button.
Stupid it has to be this complicated!

Assistant stopped working

I don't know exactly when this happened but I cannot anymore Launch the Google Assistant uaing voice. Did Google also disable this feature since the last update?
