Josh.ai is a voice and touch controlled AI assistant for the smart home. It connects to the devices already in a house and gives the household one interface for controlling them through natural voice commands, text or touch. A request such as asking Josh to play jazz, dim the lights and start the fireplace is handled as a single instruction. The platform integrates with appliances, cameras, music systems, TVs, fans, door stations, fireplaces, garage doors, keypads, lights, sensors, shades, switches, thermostats and gates. The product range includes the Josh App, Josh Edge, Josh Core, Josh One, Josh Micro and Josh Nano, along with an operating system the company calls AI X OS, a handheld controller, and JoshGPT, an assistant the company says it is extending beyond the home to use on the go. The site also states that Josh interprets context to simplify complex activations and that its products are engineered to protect user data. Josh.ai sells through a dealer and integrator network, with a dealer application, a dealer login and a page for designers and architects. Visitors are directed to connect with a Josh Pro to get started. No prices are published on the site, so cost depends on the products and installation arranged through a dealer. The company was founded in 2015 by Alex Capecelatro and Tim Gill and is based in Denver.
