 Last year we sat down to determine how all these use cases, all complicated to achieve, could be made accessible to everyone. The first thing that came out of this was [integration sub-entries](/blog/2025/07/02/release-20257/#integration-sub-entries), which we shipped last release. It allows users to configure their Ollama server or API key for OpenAI *once*, and create many different agents using different models or configuration underneath. This release we’re building two things on top of that: AI tasks and Suggest with AI. We’re also introducing a new integration, OpenRouter, which is a unified LLM interface giving access to over 400 extra LLM models.

 ### Work faster with Suggest with AI buttons
 
 The AI task integration has one extra feature under its belt: default entities. You can go to [Settings \-\> System \-\> General](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/config_ai_task/) and configure what AI task entity you want to use as the default. With a default set, you no longer have to specify an entity when generating data, making it easier to share blueprints.
