*Delbrück, Germany, September 6, 2019 - With geni:OS, a new software
platform for digital assistants, paragon [ISIN DE0005558696] is striving for
a revolution in the field of AI assistants. The new generation of software
enables numerous innovative functions that significantly expand the range of
products and services of previous solutions. At this year's IAA from
September 10 to 15, paragon is putting these innovations in digital
assistance in the spotlight.*
In addition to a high-performance runtime environment, the new geni:OS
software platform also provides specialized software tools for developers in
the field of artificial intelligence (AI). It expands on its predecessor,
ODP S3, with a wide range of new functions. The system enables the
development of intelligent assistants and combines empathetic, context-based
and adaptive interaction with the unique concept of interconnected AI. This
explicitly sets the technology apart from other software platforms available
on the market. Interaction takes place, for example, via voice recognition,
gestures or eye tracking. The driver and the AI assistant are able to
communicate in an entirely natural manner - almost like in a purely
interpersonal conversation. The driver can freely and intuitively select the
most appropriate form of interaction, depending on preferences, situation
and context.
If the driver points in the relevant direction and asks, "Is that the office
building where my meeting is?" the system independently links the available
information sources together and provides the driver with the desired
results in an instant. paragon has extensive experience with the
implementation of so-called multi-modal control interfaces, in both
predevelopment and mass production, and is capable of supporting any desired
combination of input channels.
In addition to the software platform geni:OS, paragon also offers its own
assistant, EDWIN. This product is an AI assistant for OEMs in the form of a
perfectly coordinated combination of hardware and software - all from a
single source. EDWIN, which was already developed on the basis of the
geni:OS platform, thus provides concrete assistance solutions for a wide
range of functions, including the so-called Smart Office among others. This
allows EDWIN to assist the driver in accessing office functions in the car.
If the assistant determines, for example, that the driver has several unread
emails in his inbox, the system could make the following proposal: "Multiple
emails that need a reaction are stacking up in your inbox. Should I read you
the messages with high priority so that we can answer them together?"
Following confirmation, the system could read prioritized emails and then
record and send the driver's verbal reply. The Smart Office function will
enable users to completely integrate the digital assistant EDWIN into their
day-to-day working life in the future. This will make it easier to plan and
manage meetings, tasks and messages - even on the go. EDWIN can be operated
offline, cloud-based or even as a combination of the two according to the
driver's needs. Even in cloud mode, control over all user data remains with
the user or the automotive manufacturer. OEMs have the option of operating
the cloud-based sections of the system in their own computing centers. This
ensures that sensitive end user data is protected from access by external
third parties at all times.
From September 10 to 15, visitors to the IAA can experience the pioneering
solutions of paragon at booth B08 in hall 5.0 in the New Mobility World
section. Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to experience EDWIN
in person in the context of a futuristic passenger compartment and learn
about what it can do.
