JOSH.AI® ACHIEVES ANOTHER INDUSTRY FIRST

Josh.ai recently achieved an industry-first when it launched AI OS, the world’s first AI-powered smart home control platform.....

This distinction is very fitting for a company with “ai” in its name and which, from its inception, has incorporated a powerful natural language processing engine and contextual artificial intelligence into its unique and intuitive voice-controlled home automation system.

Founded in 2015, Josh.ai launched Josh Micro in 2017, the industry’s first solution for location-aware voice control in every room of the home. This intuitive system was the first to use conversational voice commands and user voice recognition technology to provide a natural-language interaction between Josh and each member of the family. In the years since, Josh.ai has also added handheld remotes and touchscreens to its product lineup.

Not to be left behind in any aspect of artificial intelligence development, the company introduced JoshGPT in the summer of 2023. This strategic move made it the first company to offer its customers the convenience of hands-free access to generative AI both at home and on-the-go.

With AI OS, homeowners can access their whole-home automated devices, make device-specific adjustments, and customize individual room configurations to customize a unique and intelligent living environment.

AI OS also offers these distinguishing features:

• AI Powered Image Generation: AI OS offers limitless customization possibilities by incorporating AI-powered image generation to enhance visual appeal for clients using the Josh App, Josh Touchscreen, and Josh-Ready AVA remotes. The real-time creation of high-quality, personalized images for scenes, devices, rooms, and areas adds a unique touch for each project’s graphical user interfaces.
• AI Powered Voices: The Josh.ai voice experience becomes even friendlier and more natural with the rollout of 19 new synthetic AI voices. Thanks to significant advancements in generative AI over the last year, Josh.ai has updated systems with an array of new gender, tone, and accent-oriented options. In doing so, it delivers the option for a preferred default voice along with more diverse and personalized interactions.
• Intelligent Security Solutions: As a complete smart home operating system, AI OS fulfills a critical need for property owners with the launch of Josh.ai’s security and alarm system capabilities. Like every Josh.ai integration, supported security providers are automatically discovered on the local network. Once authorized, Josh.ai’s touch, text, and voice interfaces consolidate control while enabling users to customize automations and push notifications from their security devices. In addition, AI OS includes a feature called Josh Vision that takes surveillance insight to the next level. Homeowners can ask, “Hey Josh, what is happening at the front door?” Josh.ai will then analyze the camera feed and intelligently describe what it sees to make home monitoring easier and more interactive. Additionally, AI OS will enhance the quality and refresh rate of live camera streaming in the Josh App and on Josh Touchscreens. Users can view real-time streams and take action from anywhere in the world.
• Advanced AV Distribution: AI OS enhances entertainment experiences throughout the home with its AV distribution advancements. Featuring the connection and synchronization of media sources across different output zones in the home, users can transfer content that is currently playing from one area to another. Conveniently managed through the Josh App’s updated video controller or by voice command, this updated functionality ensures a flexible entertainment experience throughout the home.
• JoshGPT 2.0: JoshGPT 2.0 incorporates the latest advancements in large language model (LLM) technology. The update improves query accuracy while decreasing response time, optimizing answers to everyday questions and complex calculations.
• Smart Support Tools: In an effort to provide dealers and clients with best-in-class supportability, AI OS includes tools for streamlined system oversight and troubleshooting.
• Advanced Lighting Effects: AI OS introduces customizable lighting effects that elevate and transform the ambiance in every room. With advanced lighting capabilities, like dynamic color patterns and engaging animations, users can create a relaxing atmosphere featuring soft hues or an energized space with vibrant energy.

These additional features will be available in a forthcoming update:

• DoorLink: In a forthcoming update, AI OS will introduce two-way communication between the Josh App and Josh Touchscreen with any door station. This intercom functionality enables clients to speak with their visitors from anywhere in the home, or in the world when they are on-the-go, to conveniently manage entry without compromising security. Homeowners can communicate with guests, verify identities, and grant access to their property with a few voice commands or taps in the Josh App or Josh Touchscreen.
• Pool & Spa Automation: In a forthcoming update, AI OS will include the launch of pool and spa support to expand Josh.ai’s home intelligence to exterior living spaces. Customers will experience intuitive control of their water features with the ability to create custom automations.
