Google Assistant was already speaking in Portuguese inside the messenger Allo, but nothing outside of it. It has been noticed that now the Assistant is now in place of Google Now on the devices of some Brazilians. To access, just hold the home button for two seconds or say “Ok, Google”. You can interact by voice or text.

However, not all cell phone models are currently accepting. Tests made in Galaxy S7 e S8 they worked, but not Zenfone 3 Zoom not. So, if you still haven't received Google Assistant, wait with your device updated on Android Marshmallow or Nougat.
