It seems that this PR is targeted against an incorrect branch since it has a parent PR on one of our codebases. Documentation that needs to be updated for an upcoming release should target the next branch. Please change the target branch of this PR to next and rebase if needed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The update adds a new "Google Search" section to the Google Generative AI conversation documentation. This section provides a workaround for using the Google Search tool by detailing the configuration of a secondary Google Generative AI service. It also clarifies that the "Enable Google Search tool" option is available only when the "Control Home Assistant" setting is set to "No control." Additionally, the changes include a new script alias (Assist: Search Google) with a description and added YAML fields to handle queries.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

77-81: New "Google Search" Section and API Limitation Explanation:
The introduction of the "## Google Search" section effectively outlines the API limitation by explaining that using the tool with other features leads to a 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT error. For enhanced readability, consider adding a comma after the introductory phrase on line 79 (e.g., after "Due to an API limitation") as suggested by static analysis.

82-127: Comprehensive Workaround Details with Minor Formatting Suggestions:
The detailed steps within the {% details "Workaround for Google Search tool" %} block provide a clear, step-by-step guide for users to set up a secondary Google Generative AI service with the Google Search tool enabled. The included YAML snippet for the script alias ("Assist: Search Google") is well-structured and informative.

Suggestions:

  • The ordered list items at lines 123–125 currently use numbering (11, 12, 13) that may conflict with common markdown style guidelines. Consider renumbering these items (e.g., using “1.” repeatedly or a sequential “1, 2, 3…”) to improve consistency.
  • Also, verify that any trailing spaces (as noted by static analysis on line 80) are removed to adhere to markdown formatting best practices.

74-74: Clarification Added for Google Search Tool Setting:
The updated description in this line clearly explains that the Google Search tool can only be enabled when the "Control Home Assistant" setting is set to "No control". This added clarification helps users understand the limitations up front.
