This smart home virtual assistant uses artificial intelligence to co-ordinate your automated home. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and backed by the Samsung Accelerator, startup Soy helps users communicate with their smart home.
Soy enables you to interact with your smart home through messaging. For example, if you want to set your lights on a timer, you would simply send a message to Soy and it is done. This makes simple tasks even easier and eliminates the need to rifle through pages of instructions. The smart home virtual assistant is compatible with a wide variety of platforms, including Android, iOS and the Smart Things hub.
Interested parties are now able to sign up for the beta version of Soy.
