Generally easier and more functional Tasker/Locale/Llama integration
AutoVoice, developed by the developer of Tasker, now, integrates with Google Home, and AutoWear effectively does the same thing with a mic on your wrist. All around it's a powerful set of packages. I don't mind typing in intents, but I keep seeing people struggle with them in various forums. Plugins don't seem as hard to code as the support seems to be for helping folk get all the parameters and arguments in order and spelled correctly.
Specifically what I'd like to do, eventually, is be able to trigger specific casts with all that Tasker (and AutoRemote, AutoVoice/Wear, AutoShare - kind of redundant but..., Join) already have in them, including Google Home integration. So, like when I get home, my home speakers just go ahead and play my favorite 50-minute podcast (not hard to do even without a GHome device), or if the integration is good, Tasker can check to see how long a cast is, and if it's too long for the rest of my commute, try the next one.
I love how intents more-or-less get people coding. Tasker does too, with less typo-generated-face-palming, and some really satisfying, useful results.
I've also watched many plugins by other developers wither as the apps they plug into change. The ones maintained as part of the integrating app almost always fare much better.
As I understand it, integration with these three automators pretty much overlap nearly entirely.
