The Official Google Blog says –

The Assistant is already available on Pixel, Google Home, Google Allo and Android Wear. Now we’re bringing it to even more people. Starting this week, the Google Assistant is coming to smartphones running Android 7.0 Nougat and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

If you are thinking how it will come to Android 6.0+ devices, then there is no need for any additional update. The Google Assistant will automatically come to eligible Android phones running Nougat and Marshmallow with Google Play Services. Today, the LG G6 was announced at the MWC, and it is the first non-Pixel phone to get the Google Assistant officially from Google.  Also, Google will showcase the Google Assistant for phones like HTC, Samsung, Sony, etc. at the MWC 2017.  Talking about the Google’s plans about the Google Assistant, the official blog says –

Our goal is to make the Assistant available anywhere you need it. It came to Android Wear 2.0—via new smartwatches—just a few weeks ago and, as we previewed in January, the Assistant is also coming to TVs and cars. With this update, hundreds of millions of Android users will now be able to try out the Google Assistant. What will you ask first?
