Natural Language Programming Headlines Josh.AI Tool Redesign

Voice control company Josh.ai introduced Fiji OS, a redesign of its configuration portal interface with “friendly customization tools” at virtual CEDIA Expo Tuesday. Dealers can configure advanced conditional macro operations using simple text, said the company. The reworked platform has new user roles and permissions structures for granular privacy settings, IR configuration of set-top boxes for channel access and navigation of nonnative video sources, an intuitive new portal layout and a natural language scene editor. Fiji OS introduces natural language to the programming of the system itself, it said, so clients can simply speak or type out what they want a scene to do without complex programming, a graphics user interface console or having to configure tiles. The Fiji update has been pushed to all active Josh.ai systems and will be the standard going forward, at no additional charge, it said. Fiji also introduces IR control for cable boxes.
