This ensures that commands like +_"I'm heading out for a couple of minutes"_ will run your predefined script, +such as locking the door without turning off the air conditioning. + +[Read more about expanding LLMs with script in the Chapter 7 blog post](/blog/2024/06/26/voice-chapter-7/#expand-an-llm-with-scripts). + ## Integrations Thanks to our community for keeping pace with the new {% term integrations %}
