In the final deep dive into the world of Digital Assistants, the Brothers discuss a program that allows you to enable creative integrations between your assistant and other products/services: IFTTT (“IF Then, Then That”): A very cool database of skills/routines that can be enabled to integrate several of your services and products together. The “BiTS” (Brothers in Tech Suggestions) for this show were some of our favorite IFTTT skills: Brian’s Picks When I leave my home area, turn on my security camera… When I click a button on my phone (or arrive at my work location), enter a time log on a Google spreadsheet If I do not receive X amount of sleep (Fitbit), brew a strong batch of coffee (wifi-enabled coffee machine) When your Dominos pizza reaches the “delivery” status, flash your indoor lights and turn on your porch lights (Hue)   Alan’s Picks When I “like” a song (Spotify) or music video (YouTube), add them to a Google spreadsheet… When I say “find my phone” to my digital assistant, trigger the Find My Phone feature of your mobile device Anytime a file is added to my DropBox account, copy it to my Google Drive (and vice versa) When it is raining outside, change my Hue lightbulbs to blue Have any feedback for the Brothers regarding this topic (or future topics)?
