Google just invited every AI agent to live in your house
“Claude just asked if it can have the garage-door code.”
The Story
Google opened Google Home to any MCP-compatible third-party agent, including Claude and ChatGPT. Agents can now read camera history, control lights, locks and thermostats, send voice messages through speakers, and build custom dashboards. Rolling out first to $20/month U.S. subscribers.
Why It Matters
Your physical home now has roommates that aren’t human and weren’t invited by you personally. Identity, domestic space, and the moment the house itself becomes multi-agent.
Evidence
The Verge, TechCrunch, and Google Home developer documentation, September 16.
