Google has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature “help me script” for Google Home. This new, experimental feature in the script editor will help you to easily create custom Google Home Routines. It will be available later this year in public preview.

“We’re introducing ‘help me script,’ a new, experimental feature in the script editor that makes it easier to create advanced automations, even with little coding experience,” the tech giant said in a blogpost on October 2.

Once you log into your Google Home account on Google Home for web and open the script editor, you can simply describe what you want to happen in natural language, for example:  “If my outdoor camera sees someone after dark, turn on the porch light and make an announcement,” or “When the smoke alarm goes off, flash all the lights in the house and announce an emergency over the speakers.” Then, with the help of generative AI, “help me script” will generate the code for you.

You can easily copy, paste and activate that generated code in the script editor. Moreover, you can always modify it later if you need to.

“Because ‘help me script’ is powered by a large language model, it’s constantly learning and improving, generating more accurate and personalised scripts every day,” Google said.

This new “help me script” feature will be available later this year in a public preview.

For those who are unaware, Google launched the script editor earlier this year. It allows you to write and edit code to build more specific, custom automations for your household.
