Josh.ai, an artificial intelligence (AI) firm headquartered in San Francisco, California, is working on a prototype integration utilizing OpenAI's ChatGPT structure.

Josh.ai is well-recognized for creating a voice-controlled home automation system, as reported by Business Insider.

Voice Assistant

These days, you can ask Siri or Alexa to do things like turn on the lights, give you the temp readings in your bedroom, or play a certain video or music. Otherwise, you may be asked, "Which of the 15 devices you have designated lights would you want to operate?" or "It is now 53 degrees in Kathmandu."

But what if your voice assistant is not only able to provide accurate responses but also able to give smart solutions to vague questions? Imagine asking, "I've had a difficult day; what's a nice way to unwind?" and getting a real answer such as "by turning down the lights," "drawing the drapes," turning up the heat," or "prepping some binge-Netflix goodie-viewing."

That is the promise of voice assistants driven by cutting-edge AI language models, according to Alex Capecelatro, co-founder of the Josh.ai home automation system.

"We are thrilled to be working on bringing the best of Josh.ai and ChatGPT together to create something truly remarkable - a solution where one plus one equals three. By combining our strengths, we envision delivering an AI experience that is beyond what any smart home is capable of," he said.

AI Integration

OpenAI's ChatGPT is being used to prototype Josh.ai's integration. Using AI language models to understand natural language seems like it may greatly improve smart home control. As far as Capecelatro is concerned, this is where things are headed.

It is only a matter of figuring out how excellent they can get the AI to regulate the surroundings more naturally and intuitively.

Modern voice assistants are picky about the words you choose and sometimes misinterpret simple smart home instructions as inquiries, resulting in confusing and often pointless replies. Josh.ai was founded with the express purpose of addressing this issue.

The company's eponymous voice assistant wants to make managing your smart home a breeze.

Meet 'Josh'

In a report by The Verge, Josh is able to distinguish between two commands because it is trained using large knowledge network models to recognize the difference when it is spoken.

Josh is savvy enough to recognize that even though "open the curtains" may seem like "grab some grapes," you do not, in fact, live in a vineyard.

Even if you say something like "turn on the goddam lights," it will understand what you mean since Capecelatro and his team spent a lot of time working behind the hood to rectify mishearing, deal with various dialects, grasp imperfect phrases, and the like.
