Swann has released the SwannShield Voice Assistant, an AI-enhanced assistant made for the SwannBuddy4K video doorbell.

The first AI doorbell, the latest feature uses the adaptive generative AI technology and user instructions to respond to visitors with natural, realistic, human-like interactions when they press the doorbell.

“Through thoughtful design and careful consideration of user feedback, we aim to deliver an AI-driven voice assistant that seamlessly integrates into users’ lives while providing enhanced protection and peace of mind,” Swann chief executive Alex Talevski says.

“Representing an exciting step forward in the democratisation of AI for everyday consumers, the SwannShield sets a new benchmark for intelligent home protection and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.”

The doorbell can be personalised via the app settings, which include activating it when needed with night and/or away modes, telling it the address of the home, the names of residents and instructions for where deliveries should be placed. The demeanour of responses can also be set choosing between polite, disinterested or aggressive to adequately deal with the type and nature of visitors to the home.  ‌
