Not Your Ordinary Voice Control System

Popular smart speakers perform a myriad of functions, from answering random questions and telling jokes to streaming music and setting reminders. While they also integrate with smart home control systems like Crestron and Savant, they aren’t built specifically for home automation, which can make their functionality and performance limited and less intuitive when compared to Josh.ai.

Josh.ai is a leader in providing effortless smart home experiences through voice and app control. Not only does Josh integrate with a multitude of devices and control systems, but it allows you to speak to your home naturally. There’s no need to memorize room names or syntax. Josh understands natural speech, different names for rooms and devices, and compound commands.

Tell Josh to dim the lights, close the shades, and start the fireplace in one breath. Tell Josh to arm the alarm system in five minutes and play Sam Cooke in the kitchen. Want the music to be louder? Josh remembers your last command, so all you have to say is “turn it up.”

Always Learning

Josh is always learning to make your life easier. For example, if you like to close the shades in the afternoon and play jazz in the evening, Josh will take note of these habits and offer suggestions on the Josh app dashboard based on your routines. Josh is smart enough to turn off lights for you when you go to sleep or turn on music when you get home from work—without you having to ask.

Josh is continuously learning more natural voice commands for the smart home to ensure you can always speak naturally. In fact, the more you interact with your home, the smarter your home becomes. Josh is also room-aware, which means you can make contextual commands to set the mood in just the room you’re in without having to say the name of the room. What can’t Josh do?

Uncompromising Privacy

The cost of smart home technology advancements is often the loss of user and data privacy. Josh.ai challenges this intrusion by putting your privacy and data security first. Josh will never share your data for marketing or sales purposes and even gives you complete control over the information it collects. Rather than orchestrating through the cloud, Josh stores, and processes everything locally.

While Josh delivers a better smart home experience by learning your patterns, you can decide what Josh collects and what gets erased. Review your chat history to see what’s been heard by Josh and make adjustments as you desire. The Josh Micro and Nano microphones can also be muted to ensure that whatever you say behind closed doors stays there.

Designed to Disappear

The best home control systems are the ones you can’t see. Josh becomes part of your beautiful home through its Nano architectural microphones, which marry design and technology to offer a control system that hides within your smart home.

The Nano is just slightly larger than a quarter but is built to control the most expansive and comprehensive smart homes. This powerful room-aware microphone utilizes the Josh Core as the brain of the home control system to perform any request. Choose from various finishes and watch the flush-mount microphone blend beautifully into your home. Unlike the Josh Micro, which features a speaker, the Nano microphones are purpose-built to work with and respond through your home audio system.
