Google Home now lets AI agents control your house

Google has opened Home MCP (Model Context Protocol) in early access, enabling external AI agents such as Claude, Antigravity, Hermes, and OpenClaw to read and control smart home devices. This integration allows AI agents to interact with Google Home ecosystems, expanding automation capabilities beyond Google's native AI. The move represents a significant step toward interoperable AI agent control of IoT devices.
