Josh.ai Announces Voice Control Integration With LG TVs for the Custom Channel

Josh.ai announced a collaboration with LG letting TV owners request specific content through LG displays. The integration applies to LG 2018 and 2019 OLED, Super UHD and UHD model sets. The LG televisions will be controllable via commands including “raise the volume” and “switch inputs to Roku,” said Josh.ai Tuesday, billing itself as a higher level voice control solution for the custom integrator channel. It also gave an example of a compound command possible through the collaboration: “Watch Stranger Things season 2 episode 3, turn up the volume on the TV, draw the shades 40%, and dim the lights a little.” Calling the setup process “intuitive” for integrators, the company said Josh auto-populates supported LG TVs and provides authorization instructions.
