“OK Josh, How Can You Make Home Automation Easier?”

There are an estimated 128 million Americans, or 38.5% of the population, that used a voice assistant in 2020, according to emarketer. With more time spent at your Memorial, TX, home in the last 12 months, that number rose significantly compared to 2019 because homeowners and their families spent more time together for the sake of social distancing and community health.

There are a few potential drawbacks to using the typical voice assistants like Apple’s Siri, Google, and Amazon’s Alexa, though. Data sharing for advertising purposes is the standard operating procedure, so your personal habits and preferences are shared with marketers regularly. In contrast, Josh.ai is a voice control platform that flips the norms of no privacy on its head.

How is Josh.ai Different?

Many may think that all voice control assistants are the same, but that’s simply not true. Run-of-the-mill voice control platforms available from the big-box retailers utilize your personal data as a commodity, selling it to advertisers for profit. The voice commands you make, songs you request, and information you request is all accumulated and sold to the highest bidder. Sure, your home can operate smart devices by your voice, but the price you pay in order to do this is high – you and your family lose privacy.

Josh is different. Situationally aware natural language processing is truly smart, so you can speak intuitively to control your home’s devices no matter where you’re located. If you’re in the kitchen, saying, “OK Josh, turn off the lights” will initiate a different series of smart device responses than when you stand in the living room. 

This awareness elevates the voice control experience in a way that the other assistants on the market simply cannot compete. You can even combine multiple smart commands into one sentence: “OK Josh, lower the shades, dim the lights, and turn on the TV.” The actions that occur are dependent upon which room you make the request. This is truly a smart technology solution!

How Does Josh Protect My Privacy?

Josh.ai CEO, Alex Capecelatro, considers privacy to be a basic human right. Homeowners have the right to keep their data to themselves, with included mute buttons that turn off all microphones. Additionally, it is your choice whether or not the Josh.ai platform can access your voice commands to improve its artificial intelligence or not. Privacy is the brand's true mission, and this company considers a new level that other voice command assistants cannot.
