Push2Run

Push2Run lets you turn your computer into a personal assistant! You can control it with voice commands using your Google Home or Google Mini. How cool is that?

How Does Push2Run Work?

So, here’s the scoop: Push2Run uses remote control and voice commands from services like Pushbullet and IFTTT. This means you’ll need to set it up just once to get everything working smoothly.

Setting Up Push2Run

I know, setting things up can feel like a hassle, but don’t worry! It’s quick. First, you’ll need to grab an access token from your Pushbullet account. Once you have that, just plug it into Push2Run. Oh, and don’t forget to install the Pushbullet Windows app too!

Next, jump over to IFTTT. Link your Google account there and create a new applet. This is basically a set of rules that lets your Google device talk to your PC. If you want detailed steps on this, check out the setup instructions page of Push2Run.

Your Voice Commands

Once everything is set up, you're ready to roll! Just say “Ok Google” followed by what you want your PC to do. You can launch apps, open websites, make spreadsheets, manage Google Calendar events or shopping lists, print stuff out—pretty much anything!

Add New Commands Easily

The best part? All the commands are shown right in the main window along with their status. If you want to add more commands, it’s super easy! Just fill out a simple form with a description of what you want and how to trigger it.

Your Personal Assistant Awaits!

If everything is configured correctly, just say “Ok Google, tell my computer to ” and watch it happen!

Push2Run is definitely worth checking out if you've got a Google Home or Mini device lying around. It connects your Windows PC with Google Assistant so you can control everything with just your voice.

The setup might seem like a chore at first glance but trust me—it’s really easy once you get going. And after that? You'll be controlling your computer hands-free in no time!
