- The “Home Awareness” feature in the Android/iOS “Google Home” app may soon be upgraded to an AI agent feature powered by Google AI (LLM).
- An analysis of the app files for the Android “Google Home” app v4.27.28.0 update revealed the addition of resource code related to “Teamfood”—believed to be an internal testing program—for the “Home Awareness” (codename: ASTI) AI agent upgrade feature of “Home Check.”
- It is expected that Google AI will analyze various data—such as location information and Wi-Fi connection status—from “Google Home”-compatible devices installed in the home (including motion sensors, smart lights, smart locks, and network cameras). Beyond simply “checking if someone is home,” the AI agent will learn patterns such as “what time you usually leave and return home” and incorporate this information into “automation” features.
The Android and iOS versions of the Google smart home service “Google Home” app feature “Presence Sensing,” which utilizes location data from the user’s mobile device and motion detection from installed “Google Home” smart speakers and displays.
When Presence Sensing detects either “Home” or “Away” modes, it can trigger the activation or deactivation of automations. While this “Presence Sensing” feature in the Android and iOS “Google Home” apps has operated with the same specifications for years, it may soon be upgraded to an AI agent feature powered by Google AI (LLM).

An analysis of the app files from the Android “Google Home” app v4.27.28.0 update released on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, confirmed that resource code related to “Teamfood”—believed to be an internal testing program for the Presence Sensing AI agent feature “Home Awareness” (codename: ASTI)—has been added.

Rather than just basic presence sensing, the AI agent will learn departure and arrival patterns, such as “around what time the user usually leaves and returns home,” and reflect them in “automations.” In other words, automations that currently require specific triggers could be upgraded by the AI agent into fully automated features tailored to the user’s lifestyle patterns.
Given the recent trend of generative AI moving toward AI agents, transforming “Presence Sensing” into an AI agent feels like a natural progression. At the very least, internal testing has already begun at Google.
