Tips From The Top

The security and privacy of our clients is a top concern of ours, especially when it comes to AI advancements.

It’s just one more reason why we work with Josh.ai and Savant. These two leading smart home tech platforms secure our clients’ homes and personal information at all times.

AI is a great tool for our clients to use, both up front and behind the scenes. Our clients see how it helps streamline their daily living, with everything from climate control to lighting adjustments. As integrators, we see what AI does behind the scenes to monitor the home’s smart systems, alert us when devices need attention, and keep the homes secure, both with physical space and information, without the home owner ever having to worry about it.

AI can also do some pretty incredible stuff when it comes to our client’s home entertainment systems, like adjust the audio settings according to the room’s layout and configuration, which is a great feature to have. 

We work closely with our clients to make sure they are in control of any AI in their homes. Many choose the natural voice control system Josh.ai.

Clients who choose Savant, which offers its main home controller running on the Mac OS platform, can take advantage of the recent development of Apple Intelligence, a new ChatGPT-like feature to be embedded in iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Because data privacy is key, we are moving forward cautiously, prioritizing the local storage of data, and carefully monitoring developments as smart home platforms incorporate more data to make AI-informed decisions.

Alex Capacelatro, Josh.ai co-founder and CEO, recently said that although AI models require a lot of data, clients don’t need to give up their own data to benefit from those models. In fact, Josh.ai designs models specifically to offer users the benefits of AI without the need to share their own personal data. Instead, clients can elect to access a local model to complement their own home experience. The approach allows a more personalized AI experience, but the client always retains the first and final decision about sharing their data and preferences.

In other words, our clients’ privacy and control are always the most important factors in any AI scenario.
