Cisco brings AI-Powered Voice Assistant for Meetings
At Cisco Partner Summit, the company announced Cisco Spark Assistant, an enterprise-ready voice assistant for meetings. It will be available first on the Cisco Spark Room Series portfolio, including the new flagship Cisco Spark Room 70, which was also introduced in the same event.
Cisco Spark Assistant is the latest innovation on the Cisco Spark platform. Unlike all-purpose voice assistants, Cisco Spark Assistant has one goal: to help you have great meetings that run more smoothly.
“During the next few years, AI meeting bots will be joining our work teams. When they do, people will be able to ditch the drudgery of meeting setup and other logistics to become more creative than ever,” said Rowan Trollope, SVP and GM, Applications Group, Cisco. “The future of great meetings is Spark with AI and our partners have an incredible opportunity to help customers take advantage of this game-changing technology.”
The company will release Cisco Spark Assistant in phases, starting early next year. In the first phase, a small group of customers will use select features.
Cisco Spark Assistant will use feedback from the trial to make itself smarter. Eventually it will be able to do much more; for example, it will be able to assign action items and create meeting summaries.
Cisco Spark Assistant will first be available on the new Cisco Spark Room 70, which replaces the MX800. Just as Cisco Spark Assistant will take on more tasks over time, it will also be available across all Cisco Spark clients and hardware devices over time.
Part of the Cisco Spark Room Series, Cisco Spark Room 70 features:
- 70” 4K screens. Cisco offers both single and dual screen models.
- Beautiful, industrial design and great audio and video.
- Quad 5k cameras. We have packed double the cameras into half the space (compared to the MX800). One of the cameras capture the entire room at all times, making intelligent framing and best overview highly responsive and human. The cameras also enable face recognition and people count.
- One can register the system on the premises or to Cisco Spark through the Cisco Collaboration Cloud.
At its heart is the NVIDIA Jetson platform. This lets the engineers use AI to build intuitive and intelligent capabilities.
