Create my Widget could be Google's answer to Apple's Shortcuts

Android has "Rules" (Settings > System > Rules, on a Google Pixel), but the options are very limited, and I think that Google should expand it to give Android users something akin to Apple's Shortcuts app.

"Create My" could be used to create and trigger a mode, e.g., "create a mode that silences notifications whenever I open [media player\] and turn off mode once I leave the app".

I just watched a demo of Create my Widget and in the video the person even described the widget's color, which Create my Widget quickly generated.

I think there's a lot of potential there.
