Google Home Public Preview users can now test its ‘Help me’ script to create custom smart home automations in the app. The script is powered by Gemini AI and allows users to create automations using natural language prompts. Google Home has finally added its ‘Help me’ script to its app to make it easier for smart home users to create and control automations and routines. The ‘Help me’ script is powered by Gemini AI and is now available for Public Preview users to test.
Game-Changing Features
Google Home announced its AI-powered ‘Help me’ script last year but faced some initial challenges. However, after enhancements, the ‘Help me create’ script has been rolled out to select Android Public Preview users, offering a quick and easy way to create custom automations using its Gemini AI model.
Improving Home Automation
The Gemini-powered ‘Help me create’ script aims to streamline the process of automating routines and setting up schedules in smart homes. Google Home and other voice assistants like Alexa have been focusing on making requests and responses more conversational, a goal which the new ‘Help me create’ script achieves.
Personalized Recommendations
Besides generating automations, the ‘Help me create’ script can offer tailored suggestions based on the devices set up in the smart home. For example, if a user has a smart thermostat, the script can provide advice on energy-saving settings to reduce heating bills.
Availability and Support
The new feature is currently available for select Public Preview users. To check eligibility, users can open the Google Home app, tap Automations, Add, and then ‘Help me create’. While not all devices and features are supported at the moment, Google is actively working to expand support and introduce additional languages beyond English for the ‘Help me script’.
