It remains a mystery as to when Google is expecting to release its smart voice assistant to Chromebook devices. Chromebook is only one of the few Google hardware products that have missed Assistant.
Under the Chat with your Assistant tab beside phones, Google Home and Allo, Chromebook is listed in the compatibility section. The Chromebook icon also shows up once the mouse hovers over it just like in Google Home and Allo.
