Voice-Controlled AI

Voice-controlled AI products are the most widely known components of the Internet of Things. A variety of different companies offer voice-controlled AI products, but all of these devices function in the same general way.

When within range of the device, users voice a keyword and a command, inquiry, or request. Then, the device broadcasts a corresponding response through its speaker.

You can also set reminders and timers so that important happenings are easy to remember.
