At least 70% of things I read about people doing with "AI" assistants like "Open Claw" are basically things people have been doing with deterministic, secure tools like Home Assistant for years.

Oh you can tell your bot to dim the lights via WhatsApp chat? Welcome to 2015!

@tante that’s one part i also fundamentally not get. even if you want to use llms (which i argue you shouldn’t) – just ask them to write the home assistant yaml files or something similar. it’s by no means great but at least you only have to get it working once and then it won’t change. why roll the dice over and over again?
@hagen the hope is to have a general personal assistant that simply does all the stuff you tell them, without first figuring out what other software you need to run it and a good place to integrate something somewhere
@fh0 sure but that’s not even how actual personal assistants work.
@hagen I don't think that matters, it's the reason why people use it instead of integrating it in homeassistant (your original question)
