Modern Living Redefined Through the Power of AI

The thought of having a personal assistant is a little like taking a deep breath and stepping into a spa. You think how nice it would be to have someone perform those everyday tasks that take more time than expected. You imagine working or relaxing in an environment expertly crafted and tuned perfectly to the activity at hand. 

But you also like your space, the quiet time when no one’s around, and you can hear your own heart beating.

Now, you can have both. 

Welcome to Josh.ai, your new voice-activated assistant. Unlike other voice assistants, Josh.ai was designed for smart home living. And that little “ai” at the end of its name? That stands for artificial intelligence, which means it learns as it performs your requests. Soon, it knows you want the shades lowered and the lights dimmed to 50% when you press ‘Movie Night’ on a touchscreen.

Your smart home has become intelligent.

Here, we’ll explore its remarkable abilities and how voice control enhances everyday life.

Talking to a Friend

In the past, you had to speak to your voice assistant almost robotically for it to understand your commands. However, Josh.ai’s natural language processing allows it to interpret your conversational requests. 

“Hey Josh, I’d like to relax.” 

Josh responds by lowering the shades, transitioning the lights to the color of sunset, and streaming soft, ambient music through the kitchen and living room. The spa is heating, and the landscape lights illuminate your outdoor oasis in a breathtaking golden glow resembling candlelight.

You see, Josh understands the personalized scenes created in your home automation platform. Whether cooking, entertaining, working, relaxing, or performing a myriad of other actions, it knows the ideal setting for each activity.

Intuitive Awareness

There are personal assistants, and then there are personal assistants. You know the difference. One requires constant monitoring, while the other intuitively knows your needs. Josh understands the context behind your requests based on your location and past commands, making him intuitively aware. 

When you say, “Hey Josh, Let’s watch my favorite program,” it knows you’re in the media room. In response, it turns on the surround sound, lowers the TV from its hiding place in the ceiling, and tunes into “Black Doves” on Netflix.

When you’re working in the home office, and direct sunlight causes a glare on the screen, it lowers the shades. When the morning sun peaks over the horizon, it raises the shades, turns up the thermostat, and turns on the lights leading to the bedroom and kitchen. 

Thanks to its integration with Lutron, when you say, “Turn the lights to cerulean,” it knows to transform your bedroom lights into the color of a tranquil sea.

Improved Accessibility for Individuals with Disabilities

Because Josh.ai seamlessly integrates with nearly every smart home system and device, those with disabilities can effortlessly manage their surroundings and the environment. The lights, climate, TVs, audio systems, shades, security systems, door locks, spa, and more are all controlled by voice commands.

This ability offers something priceless—a feeling of independence. 

Remains Private

Unlike other voice assistants, Josh values your privacy and never uses your information and data for marketing purposes. 

The Power of Generative AI

Always looking to the future, in 2023, Josh introduced the first hands-free access to generative AI through JoshGPT. Now, along with your personal assistant, you also have a personal concierge. 

Talking to JoshGPT is like having a knowledgeable friend at your side, one without mood swings who never refuses a request. It combines managing your home with dynamic assistance. When you head to the kitchen to prepare a meal, you can ask Josh to turn the lights on and share a recipe for shepherd’s pie. 

Not only are your questions answered, but you also receive conversational feedback. Looking to plan a vacation? Josh will answer your questions and make suggestions based on its vast knowledge.

Are you ready to make life easier, more productive, and fun? Josh.ai and voice control may be what you’re looking for. This custom-tailored solution is exclusively installed by certified professional integrators, ensuring the best experience possible.
