Google Home API Knowledge Base

This project includes tools/google-home-api-knowledge-base.txt, a "source of truth" file with detailed API specs and code examples. Providing this file as context to an LLM (like Gemini) allows it to act as a "cheat sheet" and answer your specific Google Home API questions with greater precision. This is highly recommended for use with Gemini in Android Studio but also works with other LLMs (like the Gemini web UI).
