Voice-First Home: Josh Upgrade for Sonos

Your Sonos system just got smarter. Add Josh.ai voice control for natural, room-aware commands that go beyond music — control your lights, shades, scenes, and more, all with simple phrases. Limited-time installation promo available for Sonos clients.

For those who value privacy above all, Josh.ai offers a comparable level of convenience without relying on cameras.

By localizing its voice processing, Josh.ai reduces dependence on cloud servers. Imagine returning from a busy day at work, calling out “Josh, get the house ready for me,” and having your lights, shades, and preferred evening music respond in kind—all while keeping sensitive voice data within your home’s network.

Personalization That Enhances Everyday Routines

Morning Routines on Autopilot
Picture this: your alarm goes off, and the house “wakes up” with you. Lights transition from soft to bright over a 10-minute period, the thermostat subtly adjusts to take the morning chill off, and the coffee machine starts brewing. Rather than you juggling different apps or switches, your AI assistant does the orchestration behind the scenes. Over time, Josh.ai learns not just your wake-up hour but also how long you linger in the kitchen before leaving, making minor tweaks each day to suit your preferences.

Family-Focused Experiences
In a bustling household, each family member has different habits. Perhaps your kids want the lights at full brightness after school, while you prefer ambient lighting for winding down in the evenings. AI assistants can track these preferences individually, ensuring everyone gets a personalized environment. If your child arrives home from school earlier than expected, the system can even notify you, turning on security cameras or sending you a quick update on your phone.

Privacy-first local processing for speed and security

Say ‘Ok Josh’ and make your Sonos smarter.

Rather than juggling multiple apps or struggling with compatibility issues, JoshAI brings control of all your apps in one place.

Seamless integration, installed by the experts in one day

At Josh.ai, the mission is simple yet ambitious: to transform the way people interact with technology by solving the biggest challenges in user experience, interoperability, and innovation within the smart home industry.

Co-founders Alex Capecelatro and Tim Gill discovered these challenges firsthand while remodeling their own homes. Like many homeowners, they were introduced to expensive, overly complex, and outdated home automation systems that didn’t live up to their promise. That frustration led to inspiration—and in 2015, they founded Josh.ai in Denver, Colorado, with a clear goal: to create a platform that makes smart home control as natural, intuitive, and human as possible.
