I'm trying to send the Google Assistant a command (specifically "Good Morning") from my app when you press a button. I found this thread that asks a similar question, but the "Correct Answer" does not work. The answer provided opens up a Google Search, but NOT the Assistant. This means that when I send it "Good Morning" it simply Google searches "Good Morning" instead of playing my daily briefing (which is my intended goal). The intent in the question (Intent.ACTION_VOICE_COMMAND) opens the Assistant. However, what extra do I have to set to send it a command? intent.putExtra("query", "Good Morning"); does not work.

Currently there is NO way to pass a command to your Voice Assistant. There is no input for long presses or voice commands, which are the two intents I would have used to complete this task. Whether this because of a security reason or because the Assistant is still new, is unknown. However, what is known is that this functionality currently does not exist.
