NOW, AN AI TOOL ON YOUR PHONE THAT LEARNS FROM YOUR DAILY ROUTINE

Panasonic has launched Arbo with two of its latest devices — the Eluga RayMax and the Eluga RayX

We spend anything between 12 to 18 hours of our day fiddling with our smartphones. We are either making calls, checking social media channels, taking pictures, playing games, and everything else in between. Interestingly, we end up doing the same things every day, at around the same time. While, we may not consciously have a routine to our smart phone behaviour, we mostly use our devices for the same set of features. Now, imagine someone tracking everything you do with your device, identifying a pattern and reminding you what to do when. That someone is an artificially intelligent piece of UI software that sits on your phone and records every single thing you do.

Panasonic’s new range of devices come with Arbo — a new software that uses AI to analyse the user’s behaviour based on time and location. Arbo monitors your smart phone behaviour for seven days, identifies a pattern and then starts making suggestions. Imagine you wake up from Monday to Friday at 7 am, go for a walk before taking a cab at 9 am to head to work. Between 2 pm and 2.30 pm, you order lunch, twice a week around 5 pm you order groceries, and leave work at 7 pm. After the first 7 days of its usage, Arbo automatically sets your daily alarm at 7 am, reminds you to book your cab and displays your favourite cab aggregator app, reminds you to order your favourite dish for lunch, tells you when to call up your loved one, and helps you book your cab back home. As Arbo learns more and more about your usage patterns, it will fine-tune its suggestions and alerts.

Panasonic has launched Arbo with two of its latest devices — the Eluga RayMax and the Eluga RayX.
