This automation scenario allows you to connect Google Assistant and Google Docs
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Google Assistant and Google Docs can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Google Assistant
This trigger fires when you say “Ok Google” to the Google Assistant followed by a phrase like “Post a tweet saying ‘New high score.’” **Use the $ symbol to specify where you'll say the text ingredient
Then this action happens in Google Docs
This action will append to a Google document as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to add and create items to shoping list in google drive.
Part I
First, we need to connect Google Assistant and Google Docs to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Google Assistant to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Google Assistant account, using Google Assistant credentials.
Connect Google Docs to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Google Docs account, using Google Docs credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Google Assistant
Choose the following trigger: Say a phrase with a text ingredient (This trigger fires when you say “Ok Google” to the Google Assistant followed by a phrase like “Post a tweet saying ‘New high score.’” **Use the $ symbol to specify where you'll say the text ingredient).
Then set up an Action for Google Docs
Choose this action: Append to a document (This action will append to a Google document as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Google Assistant and Google Docs.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will add and create items to shoping list in google drive!
Triggers when a new document is added (inside any folder).
Triggers when a new document is added to a specific folder (but not its subfolders).
This trigger fires when a new document is added to a Google Drive folder. Note: only works for docs created after the Applet is turned on.
Triggers when a new document is created or modified in a specific folder.
Triggered when a new folder is added.
Document is created
This trigger fires when you say “Ok Google” to the Google Assistant followed by a phrase you choose. For example, say “Ok Google, I’m running late” to text a family member that you’re on your way home.
This trigger fires when you say “Ok Google” to the Google Assistant followed by a phrase like “Post a tweet saying ‘New high score.’” **Use the $ symbol to specify where you'll say the text ingredient
Triggers when invoked via Google Assistant
This trigger fires when you say “Ok Google” to the Google Assistant followed by a phrase like “Set Nest thermostat to 68.” **Use the # symbol to specify where you'll say the number ingredient
This trigger fires when you say “Ok Google” to the Google Assistant followed by a phrase like “Block time for ‘exercise’ at 6 PM.” **Use the # symbol to specify where you'll say the number ingredient and $ where you'll say the text ingredient
Meet your Google Assistant. Ask it questions. Tell it to do things. It's your own personal Google, always ready to help whenever you need it. Create custom voice commands for your Google Assistant. Available on Android, iOS and Google Home devices.
Google Assistant alternatives
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
