Following Josh.ai’s Winter Launch Event, where Josh.ai introduced 19 new natural AI voices, as well as its AVA Cinema Remote experience, app enhancements, Josh Touchscreen, and Nimble DevSuite, the company hosted a special webinar for its dealer network with one more announcement to share.
“After our Winter Launch Event, we were thrilled to be able to propose the Josh Edge vision with our dealers to foster a collaborative approach to roadmap development. Our goal at Josh.ai is to create products and experiences that are simple, private, and delightful to use,” says Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai.
“The Josh.ai team is committed to working closely with our dealers and this initiative has been an incredible testament to our industry. I want to personally thank our community for the overwhelming support and feedback on this proposal, and we cannot wait to deliver Josh Edge to our customers.”
Josh.ai presented Josh Edge as a concept that addresses the goal of providing simple and intuitive handheld control in the home. Based on years of partner input, dealers were empowered to provide feedback and back the project if they wanted Josh.ai to build it. In the first hour, Josh.ai reached its crowdfunding goal to move forward and build Josh Edge. This cooperative approach to roadmap prioritization, as well as the demand shown by their dealers, illustrates Josh.ai’s commitment to listening to its partners and developing meaningful solutions for the professional channel.
Machined out of aluminum for durability, Josh Edge seamlessly combines elegant and ergonomic design into a complementary hard button companion. The remote has an expected battery life of three months on a single charge, achieves a price point dealers are excited about, and includes key features with its button mapping and side volume control.
Central to the product is a tap-to-talk near-field voice control button. Josh Edge is location and contextually aware, so commands like “open the shades” or “watch ESPN” are a snap! In addition, JoshGPT provides immediate answers to any question a client might ask. Below the voice button, the bottom half of Josh Edge is dedicated to media control with a multi-directional navigation pad and AV buttons for a universal remote control experience with Apple TV, Roku, Kaleidescape, Dish, Xfinity, and more.
