Blending Entertainment & Smart Home Control into One Experience

Voice control has become a must-have feature for smart home products and entertainment devices. According to research from Parks Associates, the most desired functions to perform by voice are turning the TV on or off; changing channels/launching apps; and controlling the volume. There are currently no unified, hands-free solutions available for service providers that work across their entire footprint, including the range of installed legacy set-top boxes, TVs, and soundbars. With Nevo Butler, service providers finally can fulfill their customer needs and create truly unique and branded experiences around their exclusive content and services.
