Google wants to help you create new smart home automations with AI-generated scripts

Google is rolling out new features and improvements for Home and Nest, one of which could make it much easier for users to create complex home automations even if they don't know how to code. The company's experimental "help me script" feature leverages the power of generative AI to create home automation scripts from the natural language prompts users type in. They can, for instance, write "when the TV turns on after sunset, dim the living room lights and close the blinds" to instantly generate a script they can use. "Help me script" lives inside Google Home for the web, and it appears as a panel inside the script editor when users click on " Add new." All they have to do is write a prompt, press enter and then copy-paste the script results into the script editor.
