Nice Voice Assistant
Built on the platform that customers have relied on for more than 20 years, Nice voice assistant offers a new interface: Your Voice. Unlike third-party solutions that may require platform changes, this new capability is woven into the Nice Home Management platform, delivering speed, reliability, and data security. Users can control their media, cameras, climate, lighting, security, and more with intuitive ease. Nice voice assistant doesn’t just process commands, it understands context, recognizing location and preferred devices to streamline every interaction. Interfaces can be associated with a location or a media zone, allowing users to issue a command without an explicit location or unique device name. Nice voice assistant can be enabled on Nice ITP touch panels and HR40 remotes. With frequent over-the-air updates, Nice voice assistant is constantly evolving, learning new languages, and expanding its capabilities to advance smart home experiences.
