Lifesize adds voice assistant to video and audio calls

Lifesize is teaming with Voicera to bring an in-meeting artificial intelligence (AI) assistant to Lifesize video and audio calls. Once in the meeting, the AI assistant Eva will take notes and create

a searchable, actionable transcript. The technology can be seen in action this week at InfoComm.

“Imagine how effective and efficient your meetings would be if someone else was taking the notes and sharing action items directly after,” said Craig Malloy, CEO of Lifesize. “Adding Voicera’s AI assistant to your Lifesize meeting is just the beginning. Expect to see all Lifesize solutions utilise AI as it matures to make video conferencing more immersive and collaborative.”

“Adding AI to your video calls is the next logical step to empower meaningful conversations and make your meetings more actionable,” said Cory Treffiletti, chief marketing officer of Voicera. “Voicera created Eva to do just that. With Eva listening in and pulling out important moments from your Lifesize HD video calls, your meetings become even more productive.”

Lifesize has also unveiled Lifesize Dash, an affordable, low-risk way to get started with video collaboration.

“While video boosts productivity and drives more efficient meetings, some businesses feel ill-prepared or financially prohibited to implement a solution,” said Craig Malloy, CEO of Lifesize. “Lifesize Dash will enable organisations of every size to experience the benefits of video in the simplest, easiest and most affordable way possible.”

Lifesize Dash offers easy-to-use meeting controls, centralised management and automatic updates. The solution works with approved USB cameras and audio devices from vendors such as AVer, Huddly and Yamaha Unified Communications.

Lifesize also aims to put an end to meeting room cables with Lifesize Share which enables teams to present content seamlessly during meetings, without the hassle of finding and connecting the right dongle.

“Lifesize Share makes it remarkably simple to present in meetings without losing precious minutes passing cords and trying to make connections work,” said Craig Malloy, CEO of Lifesize. “We’ve seen incredible excitement from customers and partners and a wave of demand.”

Offering a wireless solution that’s effortless to use, Lifesize Share allows any laptop, tablet or smartphone to connect painlessly, present content, queue files and change presenters. Additionally, Lifesize Share doubles as a separate, secure wireless access point for easy guest content sharing, eliminating unnecessary exposure to business networks.

To use Lifesize Share, a presenter simply visits a customised URL via their web browser and selects the room. Lifesize Share takes care of the rest, automatically detecting the computer with ultrasonic sound waves and allowing the individual to present an entire screen, a specific application or file, or stream video and audio on the meeting room’s monitor.
