There are no integration Apis as of now. Only you have to write your own integration logic using Skype for Web SDK. It is a bit complicated SDK and not properly documented or maintained. It has tight coupling with Azure AD and video streaming doesn't work in Chrome/Firefox.
Some integration use cases/examples can be found here

Has anyone integrated Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) with any messaging technologies?

I'm looking for examples of how others might have solved for this.
Did you build a custom cartridge?
Did you leverage some externally running agent to retrieve data by OCAPI (or Commerce Cloud APIs)? ...(i.e., a "pull" strategy)
I've read the documentation, spent many nights searching Google, searched the Salesforce Commerce Cloud Marketplace, spoken with several Salesforce Commerce Cloud expert consultants & system integration firms - but it appears no one is aware of anyone else doing this before.
Yes I was able to create a custom cartridge for Twilio.
Twilio provides many separate REST APIs for sending text messages, making phone calls, looking up phone numbers, managing your accounts, and a whole lot more.
You can go through their REST API documentation https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/api. You can use their REST APIs and implement it in Salesforce B2C Commerce.

ADAL, Angular and WEB API strategy

I am a Microsoft developer. Making an ASP.NET application with authentication to Azure AD is very easy. The traditional multi page application with Vue (as an example) can be created within two minutes (by using the Authentication wizard in Visual Studio). However watching some Angular and NPM videos I liked the CLI/npm approach. So I decided to build my next project using ADAL.js, ASP.NET Core API and Angular 6 (deploy to Azure web app). But I haven't been able to succeed, and have only been met by complexity and issues.
Is the combo of these three technologies just a bad mix, Visual Studio not suited for SPA, or have I just gotten a bad start? Any suggestions on a good setup? I am considering to split the API and front end in two apps, so I can use clean Angular without having to worry about who is building TypeScript (VS or Node) etc. But then I need two web apps, and have to worry about CORS. Any suggestions here, what is a good setup to get started?
I have followed a lot of articles like:
http://www.talkingdotnet.com/how-to-create-an-angular-6-app-with-visual-studio-2017/
https://www.npmjs.com/package/microsoft-adal-angular6
But all of them had issues.
Refer to this Microsoft published GitHub sample. This sample demonstrates the use of ADAL for JavaScript for securing an AngularJS based single page app, implemented with an ASP.NET Web API backend, that calls another ASP.NET Web API using CORS.

Google Assistant API

Is there some google assistant api guide or tutorial? I cannot find anything related by these keywords. There seems have some Android app integration guide, but I want to integrate with my cloud service, not android app.
I find IFTTT have connected Google Assistant to several services, so I want to add some intents to my custom service.
I have built an Alexa app by using Alexa Skill Kit to handle my customize intent, and want to find something similar in Google Assistant developer playground, but I have no clue.
Thanks!
Google Assistant API was officially launched by Google for Windows, Mac, and Linux by which you can Get Google Assistant on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
If you wish to create voice applications for Google Assistant which are called as Google actions you will have to rely on the developers guide posted here
There is also an introductory course on udemy for the same.
I personally have used dialogFlow
and for the backend and I used firebase and have hosted a few apps into the store
Google Assistant will open its SDK to developers this December.
There's been a quite a lot of development on supporting the developer ecosystem, including the release of the Google Assistant SDK, app templates, and the ability to host and edit your integration via Firebase Functions.
For some code samples see

Best JavaScript Client Libraries to do OAuth2.0(Google) and access Google CloudEndPoints in phonegap?

I have been developing an online accounting software which is a web application. We use Secured Google Cloud Endpoints in our project. Now I would like to securely access those endpoints in phonegap. So, for that I would like to do OAuth2.0(google) and access my API securely. I have been struggling for a while to find good JavaScript Client Libraries to access my Secured API in phoneGap.
Please help me...
Any replies would be appreciated.
Finally After some struggle I have figured out the solution. If we are trying to do Google OAuth in phone gap its better to use normal JQuery and for calling the Secured Google Cloud Endpoints we can go with Google JavaScript Client Libraries. I have found a sample project oauth-google-api-gapi-phonegap-childbrowser-jquery which is a very good start for the beginners.

Azure Web Site with Push notifications

I'm trying to develop a Windows Phone 8 app. I've created a Web Site in a Windows Azure account which is an MVC 4 project with REST endpoints. I've got an SQL database in Azure to store data from the Azure Web Site. Ocassionaly, I want my application to send PUSH notifications to mobile phones. So I've created a Mobile Service and I've linked the SQL database with the Mobile Service's database in order to have got the same data for the web page and the service.
I though that when I send an HTTP POST to the web site, the script in the database from the Azure Mobile Service would be launched but it looks not to be true. Isn't it? Because of that, I would write in the controller of an HTTP POST endpoint the code to send the data to the Mobile Service endpoint in order to launch the JavaScript code to send the Push Notification.
Is that the right approach for my goal? Is there any way for sending PUSH notifications from an Azure Web Site or it is only allowed from a Mobile Service?
My last question: Do you know any books or blogs about development in Windows Azure? On the Internet there is lots of documentation but principally those are get started tutorials. I've read some books but those are really complex, boring, and not really practical.
As your website MVC4 based and is running on Windows Azure using SQL Database as backend, I will guess that it is based on ASP.NET and i will write my suggestion based on that.
Now about your question "Is there any way for sending PUSH notifications from a Azure Web Site or it is only allowed from a Mobile Service?" I would say, Azure Mobile web services are designed for the same purpose for any service running on Windows Azure to send push notification on multiple of platforms. Application developer can choose to use Mobile Services to expedite their development as well as have multiple application using the one single service for such objective.
However as you mentioned "Is there any way for sending PUSH notifications from a Azure Web Site" this is not depend on "Azure web sites" instead it is depend on what development technology you are using with your Windows Azure Application. For example in ASP.NET your can use SignalR implementation if your application is based on Java, PHP, Python, Node,js etc then you can find some other run time specific real time implementation. If you look around for websockets you will find implementation in almost every popular language or look for comet programming on this regard. Not only that you can use some of the popular 3rd party applications for this purpose as well. i.e. pusher or any other.
While Windows Azure Mobile Services will give you the best results on Windows Azure platform as it is designed to provide such specific functionality for applications running on it.
