Google’s smart home will soon have help from generative AI.
A new “help me script” feature for Google Home’s script editor could make setting up a smart home routine as easy as describing what you want to do.
Google says you’ll be able to type a phrase like “Turn on the lights and raise the blinds at 6 AM” into the service, and “help me script” will code it for you to input straight into Google Home for web.
The feature is coming to Google Home Public Preview this year and should make the many powers of the script editor more approachable to those without coding skills, which really shouldn’t be a requirement for running a smart home in the first place.
