While the default wake phrase for activating Josh’s microphones is "Ok Josh," it can be updated at any time. Josh Micro offers "Ok Home" and "Hey Micro" as options, while Josh Nano systems provide “Nikola” as a single-word alternative. We encourage you to choose whichever option feels most natural. In addition to changing the wake phrase, you may also name your system to add a personal touch. For example, clients with multiple properties can uniquely name each one to help them identify a home within the Josh App. Along with changing a property’s name, users also have the power to adjust the gender and accent of their Josh system’s voice to customize the persona they’re speaking to.

Josh works with most Android and iOS phones and tablets. You can also control Josh from any computer using our web dashboard. Whether you’re an iPhone 7s or Galaxy S7 person, Josh will work for you.

In addition to providing a best-in-class home intelligence platform, Josh is a fully capable assistant that can set alarms/timers, calculate math equations, define and spell words, and more! JoshGPT takes intelligent assistance a step further by leveraging the full potential of generative AI. Clients are able to have conversational interactions with JoshGPT so that their questions are not only answered, but they also receive insightful clarifications and conversational feedback. Whether a user is looking for nearby restaurant recommendations, curious about the inspiration behind their favorite songs, or wants help planning the logistics of their upcoming vacation, JoshGPT generates tailored and engaging responses.

JoshGPT doesn’t jeopardize any of your data or privacy. It’s an option that you can enable and disable at any time to access generative intelligence. If JoshGPT is disabled, Josh will continue working as a smart home control platform with its included assistant features.

Absolutely! One of the most convenient aspects of Josh is the ability to use it from anywhere in the world right from your smartphone. Remotely speak to your home and access JoshGPT's limitless intelligence on-the-go via the voice button in the Josh App.
