Swann Launches SwannShield, a Home Security Voice Assistant

Swann, a provider of security monitoring, consumer electronics, and security-centric solutions, worked with Thoughtworks to develop SwannShield, an artificial intelligence-powered home security voice assistant.

Swann's vision was to develop an AI-driven solution compatible with its video doorbells, cameras, and devices that engages with visitors in real time across scenarios, from package deliveries and identifying guests to deterring potential criminals.

"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," Alex Talevski, CEO of Swann, said in a statement. "Representing an exciting step forward in the democratization 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."

"Thoughtworks and Swann embarked on a journey of innovation and problem-solving to ensure that SwannShield can effectively respond to a wide range of scenarios, from deliveries, to intruders, to Halloween trick-or-treaters. By collaborating closely and leveraging our collective expertise, Swann and Thoughtworks overcame challenges to develop a solution that prioritizes both strong security and user experience," Peter Barnes, head of data and AI for APAC at Thoughtworks, said in a statement.
