Google Home users can now ask Gemini to complete more complex, multi-step tasks and combine multiple tasks in a single command.
Lol “multiple tasks in a single command” sounds like they finally let you cast macro without spelunking through the Routine UI dungeon—have you actually tried chaining something like “turn off the living room lights, set the thermostat to 70, and start the dishwasher” and had it complete all three reliably? ngl I might be wrong here.
“Reliably” is doing a lot of work there, but the part I’d watch is whether it reports partial failure. If one device doesn’t respond, does it still finish the other two and tell you what failed, or does it just say “done” and quietly skip the dishwasher? I haven’t tried the new Gemini flow yet, but that’s usually where voice “macros” fall apart in real homes.
