Greenlight Family Hub Adds an AI Voice Assistant to the Digital Wall Calendar

Greenlight has introduced its Family Hub, a 15.6-inch digital wall calendar that now features a proprietary AI voice assistant available through a $10 monthly subscription. Initially designed as a banking solution for parents and teens, it has expanded to include tools for managing chores, tracking expenses, planning meals, creating to-do lists, displaying photo screen savers, and monitoring family locations via the Greenlight app or a GPS tracker. Sushil Sharma, the chief product officer, highlighted the absence of voice capabilities in the digital calendar sector. The assistant employs large language models equipped with safety measures to steer clear of sensitive subjects. Testing identified problems with the wake phrase "Hey Greenlight" and setup difficulties. While many features are accessible without a subscription, the AI assistant, voice interaction, and location sharing necessitate payment.
