Understand the situation.
Choose the relevant product information, device signals and operational context. Ask when the request is ambiguous.
AI & Agents
Intelligence,
in touch with your world.
Connected products give AI a way to understand the physical world—and a way to help within it. We bring that connection into focus, from conversation to action.
The connection matters
Context.
Action.
Useful assistance.
A question about a room, a product or a building needs more than a general answer. It needs relevant information, access to the right controls, and a clear view of what happened next.
That is where our connected engineering and AI work meet.
Already built
A water heater that learns
when you need it.
We built an AI scheduling service for a connected water heater. It learns a household’s hot-water rhythm, then heats the tank just before showers and taps instead of keeping it hot around the clock.
- 01Sense
The heater reports its tank temperature through the day.
- 02Learn
Hot-water draws are detected and grouped into the household’s recurring patterns.
- 03Plan
A weekly pre-heat schedule, with each slot sized for the biggest draw it has seen, at the comfort level you choose.
- 04Apply
The plan goes to the heater over the air, and the week can be reviewed in the app.

What could it help you do?
Different spaces. Different needs. A shared foundation.

You ask
Where are we using energy unnecessarily?
01 / Understand
Compare consumption with occupancy and operating schedules.
02 / Propose
Investigate an unoccupied zone running outside its schedule. Propose a revised cooling schedule.
03 / Your control
Review the proposed action before it is applied.
Permissions, operating limits and confirmed outcomes belong in the design.
Photon Voice Studio / Interactive demo
Your home.
Your voice.
Explore a conversational interface alongside simulated home appliances. See how a request can become a connected experience.
Open Voice StudioOpens a separate demo with simulated devices. Starting a voice session may request microphone access.
An approach to building agents
Helpful, with boundaries.
Use the right actions.
Connect tools to explicit permissions and operating limits. A conversation does not replace device safety systems.
Keep people in control.
Decide which actions can happen automatically, which need approval, and which should be handed to a person.
Check what happened.
Distinguish a requested change from a confirmed result. Test incomplete data, unavailable devices and failed actions.
From possibility to a working system
Start with one useful job.
Define the task, the data it needs, the actions it may take and the outcome you can measure. Build and evaluate a focused pilot before widening its scope.
Energy, maintenance and operations are potential applications. Scope and availability are agreed for each project.
Your product. Your workflow. Your space.
