Josh.ai Launches AI X OS, Pushing Smart Homes Toward Proactive Automation

At CEDIA Expo 2025, Josh.ai introduced AI X OS, the latest iteration of its automation platform

that integrates artificial intelligence across its ecosystem for unified control via touch, voice, and

text.

The update brings redesigned interfaces for the Josh App, Josh Touchscreen, and AVA Remote,

alongside several standout features. The new Lighting Intelligence Controller enables dynamic

lighting effects, circadian light matching, and contextual grouping, while AI Scenes proactively

suggests automations like “Good Morning” or “Relax” based on user routines.

Other highlights include Advanced AV Distribution 2.0 for low-latency, high-fidelity media,

Camera Capture for security event review, and CustomDash, allowing users to personalize

dashboards. JoshGPT 3.0 also advances natural-language assistance, while new sales tools in the

Josh Portal aim to streamline integrator workflows.

Alongside the OS, Josh.ai debuted a 10-inch touchscreen for room-specific dashboards and the

customizable Josh Edge remote, designed for flexible control of devices, scenes, and media. A

resale agreement with IC Realtime adds cameras and NVRs to the Josh.ai store starting October

1, 2025.

With AI-driven proactive automations at its core, Josh.ai positions AI X OS as a major step

toward the intuitive, intelligent smart home long promised by the industry.
