Why we recommend Josh

Our owner has seen hundreds of smart home companies at trade shows. Josh is the one that stood out. We still install other systems when they fit better, and we will tell you when they do.

Built for one job: your home

Josh does not sell you anything or show you ads. Josh.ai says it never sells your data or shares it for marketing.

Talk the way you talk

Natural sentences, room names your family actually uses, and nicknames for each person's favorite devices.
