    Hi everyone , I just made simple autoremote and eventghost example for cortana. Since I dont need to control my android device with cortana , I thought why not adding more features to cortana. Then I made this. And if I am not wrong you can do it without purchasing autoremote! (Joa , please make it clear, Thanks :D)
    First , go to autoremote settings in your chrome browser and add that browser id to itself. Then check send cortana command under it. Also you need to check redirect messages to eventghost. Then copy this to eventghost tree.
    Code (Text):

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <EventGhost Version="1700">
        <Macro Name="Cortana" Expanded="True">
            <Event Name="AutoRemote.Message.autovoice" />
            <Action>
                EventGhost.PythonScript(u"import webbrowser\n\neventPayload = eg.event.payload\nmyString=str(eventPayload)\nmyString=myString.lower()\n\nprint myString\n\nif 'youtube' in myString:\n    myString.split('\\'')\n    item=myString.split('\\'')[1]\n    item=item.lower()\n    item.split('youtube')\n    searchItem=item.split('youtube')[1]\n    print searchItem\n    webbrowser.open('https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query='+searchItem)\n    \nelif 'what\\'s up' in myString:\n    \n    webbrowser.open('https://web.whatsapp.com/')\n")
            </Action>
        </Macro>
    </EventGhost>
     
    This has 2 options. First one is searching on youtube. You simply say "search on youtube bla bla bla". it will search for "bla bla bla". Second one is , when you say "open whats up" it will browse to whatsapp web. You can add more things with a little searching of python programming.

    If this idea was posted before , sorry for it. I didnt find any.

    Awesome! :) I like what you did there with it sending the command to itself :D Very clever.
    Thanks for sharing!
    And you're right, it doesn't need the full version of AutoRemote! :)

    This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

    It is still a good idea to support the dev. AutoRemote isn't expensive.

    Sounds good to me, so you can basically use EventGhost as a PC version of tasker! Could you provide some more detail on how to add the xml into EG as it's not exactly clear on how to do it?

    just copy the given xml and paste it in eventghost. There would be a new tab named as "Cortana".
