AI Powered Image Generation
AI OS offers limitless customization possibilities by incorporating AI powered image generation to enhance the 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 add a unique touch for each project’s graphical user interfaces.
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, Elk and additional 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 leveraging their security devices. Customers will be able to arm, disarm, and set their systems to arm-away mode. The state of the alarm panel can also send users a push notification, trigger a scene, or be activated by a scene such as “Goodnight” given by voice, the app, a button press, or a conditional automation.
Josh.ai will also enhance its security features by introducing a new capability called Josh Vision that takes surveillance insight to the next level. Homeowners can simply 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 Touchscreen. 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 seamlessly transfer content that is currently playing from one area to another. Conveniently managed through the Josh App’s updated video controller or with a simple voice command like, “Hey Josh, listen to the living room TV in the kitchen,” this updated functionality ensures a cohesive and flexible entertainment experience everywhere a client would like to leverage their multi-zone environment.
DoorLink
In a forthcoming update, AI OS will introduce two-way communication between the Josh App and Josh Touchscreen with integrated door stations. 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 easily communicate with guests, verify identities, and grant access to their property with a few simple voice commands, or taps in the Josh App or Josh Touchscreen. For example, Josh.ai can alert a homeowner if someone is at their front gate and, without getting out of their seat, they can simply tell Josh.ai to open their gate all using natural voice commands.
JoshGPT 2.0
Building on the success of the initial launch of JoshGPT, empowering users with access to trillions of data points for intelligent assistance, 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. AI OS adds JoshGPT 2.0 access to Josh Touchscreen and the Josh-Ready AVA Cinema Remote, as well as automatically updating across all of Josh.ai’s text and voice interfaces.
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. Thanks to features like direct-to-dealer outreach in the Josh App as well as the optimization of remotely accessible diagnostic tools in the web-based Josh Portal, customers and dealers can efficiently communicate to ensure everything is running smoothly.
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 easily create a relaxing atmosphere featuring soft hues or energize a space with vibrant vitality. AI OS allows for intuitive control and customization over lighting environments to match any mood or occasion.
The Josh App and Josh Touchscreen expand upon this functionality with a new area-level color selector. This feature allows users to select lighting colors for the whole home, or to granularly set the ambiance in specific areas or rooms.
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. A new device category in the Josh App, Josh Touchscreen, and accessible with conversational voice commands, clients will enjoy seamless access to their connected pools and spas. Customers will experience intuitive control of their water features with the ability to create custom automations for unparalleled convenience. For example, it has never been easier to adjust the spa temperature and jets than by asking, “Hey Josh, at sunset set the spa to 102 degrees and turn on the jets.”
