The Problem: Too many remotes, keypads, menus, buttons, Internet content? The Result: "Gadget Fatigue"
The buttons, keypads, stylus, mice, menus, and complex programming sequences devices associated with operating today's electronic devices not only confuse us, but also have a long learning curve. With our challenged short-term memories and busy lifestyles, it's hard to remember telephone numbers, commands, appointments, URLs, and passwords. Simply put, people want a user-friendly, intuitive, and hands-free device for controlling all the electronics, information, and entertainment services found in their homes.

The Solution: "Personified Assistant?- a lifelike agent which understands natural language and instantly responds to voice commands.
Just as Microsoft Windows opened up the PC to the mass market, the web browser made the Internet accessible to the everyman, and Google offered instantaneous and rapid search, Personica offers instant content and control of that content with voice commands. Just say "What is the weather forecast " and you'll hear the weather report. Using PA-based products only requires the ability to speak!

Personified Assistant (PA) can be embedded in consumer appliances and new classes of home-networked products. PA technology combines natural interfaces, such as speech recognition and visual interactions, with knowledge of user preferences to allow intuitive and instantaneous experience. Some user interaction with PAs from 5 to 10 feet away include :

Users can say : "Call John at work," "Play the Beatles," "Set a cooking reminder for 30 minutes," "Turn on the TV to CNN," "What's the weather foreca" "Tell me the baseball scores," "What is the stock quote for Microsoft," "What's on my to-do list for today," "Check voicemail," or "Wake me up at 6:30."
