Hey automation folks! Just got back from Xmas with the inlaws. Perfect moment to chill down and work on a project 😁 I need some help with understanding how I could best achieve what I want. JarvisJr got me thinking about all the options.. **Current Setup:** - Google Sheet with booking data for 3 rental properties - Data includes bookings, guest info, dates, pricing - Currently using Claude for analysis (works great with the Excel/CSV data when uploaded) **Goal:** I want to be able to ask simple questions like: - "Who's staying at property X on date Y?" - "What's the next available 6-day period?" - "Output the top 3 bookings for the last quarter in property X, in a table format" And have the AI analyze real-time data from my Google Sheet **Requirements:** - Must read live data from Google Sheets - Ideally accessible via chat (e.g., Telegram, like JarvisJr) - Should work with an LLM (Claude/GPT) for natural language processing **Current Thoughts:** - Make/Zapier for the Google Sheets connection - Some kind of API middleware - Maybe Airtable as an intermediate database? I already simply tested downloading it as xlsx, feeding that document to Claude, and asking the example questions. This worked perfectly. Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions! Has anyone built something similar? Any pitfalls to avoid?

Hi! Amazon Dot, Google Home... I've tried and had to stop every time. Something that I thought was rather simple turned out to be much more complicated than expected. I want a random audio file to play whenever something specific happens in our Salesforce system. For example: A "Tada" sound when a deal is won. An alarm sound when a user runs into a system error. Before 2022, this could easily be achieved using platforms like IFTTT, Make.com, or Zapier, which allowed external triggers (like Salesforce) to play audio on devices such as Amazon Echo or Google Home. Unfortunately, support for this kind of integration was discontinued or became extremely limited. Here’s where I ran into issues so far: 1. Amazon Echo Dot: It doesn’t allow triggering custom audio files via third-party platforms anymore. You’re limited to preset Alexa routines, which can’t handle dynamic or custom audio files. 2. Google Home: Similar problem—no native support for playing custom audio files triggered by external events like webhooks. The deprecation of some Google Assistant functionalities has made it even harder. 3. Home Assistant: While this seems like a potential solution, it requires more than just software. I’d need to set up a Raspberry Pi, install Home Assistant OS, configure webhooks, and manage connected devices. This involves hardware I’ve never used and technical steps that feel overwhelming if you’re not a developer. My question: Is there currently any device or setup that can play random, customizable audio files when triggered by an external event, like a webhook or automation tool? I’m looking for a solution that: Is relatively easy to set up (preferably no coding or advanced configuration like Home Assistant). Can integrate with systems like Salesforce via tools like Zapier or Make.com. Can reliably play custom audio files, not just preset sounds. Have any of you successfully implemented a similar setup? Any advice, tools, or step-by-step resources would be greatly appreciated!

Someone I highly respect shared this with me, but honestly, I don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to dig into it myself right now 👶🏻. So I thought I’d bring it to this community! 💡 Anyone up to take a closer look and tell the rest how legit this seems? Very curious! https://youtu.be/XeWZIzndlY4?si=CRW6bAtJ1JeJkRg5 https://www.dobrowser.io/about-early-access
