SAN JOSE, CA - Personica IntelligenceTM has introduced the Personica Intelligence (PI) platform. The PI platform is a toolkit that can be used by consumer electronics (CE) companies and broadband service providers to offer consumers unified, intuitive and instantaneous control of consumer electronics and Internet services from anywhere in their homes. PI combines natural interfaces, such as speech recognition and visual displays, with life-like intelligent personas to enable a variety of pervasive home applications for communications, infotainment and home automation. "Consumers are frustrated and overwhelmed by all the buttons they have to press and things they have to remember to get their gadgets working," said Yogendra Jain, Personica CEO. "Personica is bringing to market an innovative technology that solves this problem, simplifying life at home by controlling devices and information on-demand, from anywhere in the home, simply by using your voice or by viewing the information.
