Or launch a specific file on computer. I was thinking how cool it could be if I could say OK Google and then say pause. And my PC would launch a file (which would be AHK script) or just send a keystroke of space. And it would pause the movie in VLC. (Talking about windows of course)

I'm not sure to what kind of events an AHK script can react to. Maybe you could let AHK run an internal web server and send HTTP GET or POST requests from Automagic to the windows machine.
You could also run an FTP server on your windows machine and send some files via FTP to your desktop machine and then use an AHK script to detect when such a file appears in the file system. Dropbox or Google Drive could also work to send/sync a file to your desktop.

Plus there is a number of different ways of how Automagic may talk to a PC.
One of them - to use AutoRemote - it is a Tasker plugin but works just fine with Automagic.
On the PC would would probably need some app too - like EventGhost what can work with AutoRemote natively.
