Uses of Artificial Intelligence in home
Share
Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed many aspects of our lives and one of the places where its impact is most evident is in the home. From devices that help us with everyday tasks to sophisticated systems that improve our entertainment, comfort and safety, the way we live and manage our personal spaces is being revolutionised by AI.
AI is creating more efficient, comfortable and safer homes. We can expect AI to play an even more integral role in our daily lives as technology continues to advance, redefining what it means to live in a smart home.
Examples of uses of artificial intelligence in the home
Artificial intelligence allows a fluid and efficient interaction in different aspects of the home. From being able to automate some actions, interact with TV content through voice commands, to making calls and video calls in a comfortable and simple way.
Task automation with AI
One of the most significant advances of AI in the home is task automation. Home appliances, such as robotic hoovers, washing machines and fridges, are designed to make our lives easier and more efficient. These devices not only do basic tasks, but can also learn from our habits and preferences to provide a customised service.
For example, today’s modern robotic hoovers are equipped with advanced sensors and machine learning algorithms that allow them to map the house, identifying areas in need of cleaning and avoiding obstacles. These cleaning machines can be programmed to clean at specific schedules and can be monitored via mobile apps, providing an autonomous and effortless cleaning experience.
Smart assistants
Smart assistants are one of the most popular and best visible manifestations of AI in the home. These devices have found a place in many homes and, thanks to the use of voice to do things, allow users to perform certain actions more easily.
They are designed with the aim of enhancing and improving the user experience, making entertainment and communications much simpler and more intuitive with simple voice commands.
In addition, smart assistants are constantly upgrading by continually updating their natural language processing and machine learning algorithms. This means that the more they interact with users, the better they understand their preferences and needs, providing an increasingly personalised and efficient experience.
Reinventing the home landline phone with Movistar Home Connect
The Movistar Home Connect app, an exclusive service for Movistar customers with a fibre home line, is part of the home systems. The application is currently in beta mode for use by customers with an Android tablet (version 10.0 or higher).
One of the features of Movistar Home Connect is the possibility of making calls and video calls. To use these features, users must download the app from the Google Play Store, connect the tablet to their home WiFi, and follow the setup instructions. Calls can be made by entering the number manually or via voice commands with Movistar’s virtual assistant, “Aura”. Voice calls can be made to any number in the world (applying the costs you have contracted with your phone line), while video calls are limited to other Movistar Home Connect users or Movistar Home devices.
Another significant feature of Movistar Home Connect is the possibility to interact with Movistar Plus+ content on the TV. Users can search for content using voice commands by saying, “OK Aura, recommend action movies!” or “OK Aura, I want to watch a series!”.
You can also discover a world full of imagination and creativity with Infinite Stories. Activate this interactive experience by saying: “OK Aura, open Infinite Stories”, or access it by touch from the “Configuration” menu, “Explore” section.
Within the experience, start your story with phrases such as: “OK Aura, in a magical forest lived a lonely dragon”, and let the AI continue the narrative with text and images designed to bring your story to life.
You can direct the direction of the story, adding your ideas to create up to 6 pages full of adventure and fantasy. If you pause creation, your stories will be saved on your tablet, ready to be picked up and completed whenever you want.
An ideal experience to enjoy alone or with the family, especially with the little ones, where creativity has no limits. Dare to live a unique adventure with Infinite Stories!
Aura is also on the movistar Plus+ voice commander with which you can search for content, change channels, adjust volume and control playback using voice commands.
