Softlogic brings AI device, TeDi Alexa, to local consumers
View(s):Retail giant Softlogic Retail Pvt Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of Softlogic Holdings PLC, has joined hands with The Connection Workshop Pvt Ltd to bring seamless efficiency of Artificial Intelligence to the homes of the Sri Lankan consumer through the island-wide network of Softlogic showrooms.
This futuristic collaboration has led to the introduction of the TeDi Alexa; the first Alexa integrated device to be officially launched in Sri Lanka, giving the local consumer the opportunity to purchase technology that was once only available in highly tech-savvy countries, Softlogic said in a media release.
Currently, TeDi Alexa is considered to be the first of Amazon’s AI devices integrated to a smart platform enabling voice activation and smart controlling of connected devices direct from the TeDi Alexa device.
Mohammed Rizvi, Chief Executive Officer of Softlogic Retail (Pvt) Ltd said, “We are proud to present a device that will enable Sri Lankans to be on par with the fast-paced ever-changing AI platform of the world. As integration of AI into homes and work become the norm, it enables us to adapt to the growing trend which will take us forward into the global technological sphere”.
Dilshan Boteju, Chief Executive Officer of The Connection Workshop said, “With the backing of South Asian Technologies, our parent company, we have grown from strength to strength. Moreover, the launch of this avant-garde product has provided much needed scope for the futuristic prospects of our country and puts us on the right track”.
TeDi Alexa comes with the added feature of being able to voice and App control compatible PeoTV or Dialog TV boxes. TeDi Alexa eliminates the need to look for the remote control and search through hundreds of channels. Navigating through TV channels is now as easy as giving a voice command. TeDi Alexa has its own inbuilt Infra-Red (IR) blaster that can control any surrounding IR controlled devices – making the entire surrounding area a smart voice-controlled hotspot.
The Connection Workshop has already introduced its flagship TeDi Robot Vacuum through the Softlogic Max chain and will soon introduce the TeDi IR Blaster, Fan Controller and many new exciting devices including a Smart Window Washer for domestic use.
South Asian Technologies, the parent company of The Connection Workshop, plans to introduce many new innovative skills to complement the device operation in Sri Lanka, like ordering a cab, ordering your favourite meal etc by simply asking TeDi – Alexa.
