Hey,
I've been working on a Google Assistant for Bitshares recently:

Anyone interested in Google Assistants? Interested in helping development?
Cheers :)

:o :o super cool! Don't give your private keys to a robot kids, but, you can check out the blockchain, accounts, spreads, prices all you want. Now I kinda want a google home. Voice activated trades on the blockchain, that wont happen for a while.

The bot's fully open source, so you can see that the internals don't handle any BTS keys, it's solely read-only functionality similar to the functionality offered by the BTS HUG REST API & Oxarbitrage's many libraries.
It mostly works at this point and yeah will work across all of google's platforms (TV, tablets, chromebooks, speakers, phones, etc).
Once it's in a fully functional state there will need to be efforts made to improve localization so as to enable hundreds of millions of users worldwide use the beyond bitshares google assistant in their native language.
Voice activated trades would be highly unlikely, however redirection to bitshares wallets/apps for completing such trades would be trivial. In fact, currently when the bot shows you market info for usd:bts it also links to the open-explorer.io page for usd:bts. It's not impossible to implement non read-only functions, it would just be a massive headache to do so, perhaps a couple years down the road or if someone forks the bot and wants to try they can do so.
