Deako Announces New IDKYK.ai Smart Home Feature

New Technology Analyzes and Matches Mood with Lighting

Seattle (April 1, 2024) — In a groundbreaking leap forward in smart home technology, Deako is thrilled to unveil its latest innovation on its ninth anniversary: IDKYK.ai. Leveraging advanced AI, IDKYK.ai is a new feature that promises to revolutionize the way homes respond to the emotional atmosphere, revealing the emotions of its occupants and tailoring lighting to fit the mood.

Imagine having an argument with your partner only to have your home tune-into your stress and provide a sense of ease and comfort with a muted, cool blue ‘Chill mode’. Or, your hunger pains could trigger a lit pathway to the fridge and pantry on ‘Hangry mode’. Sometimes emotions can be difficult to identify. With IDKYK.ai, your home not only understands and empathizes with you, it helps tell you how you feel by creating an ambiance that reflects the collective emotional state of its inhabitants – it knows what you’re feeling before you do. Users will receive notifications on the Deako app when IDKYK.ai detects a change in mood and adjusts the scene accordingly.

Deako’s IDKYK.ai (which stands for ‘If Deako Knows, You Know’) is a first-of-its-kind technology, intricately trained in psychographics, psychophysics, biometrics and your zodiac birth chart to deeply understand the nuances of human emotion and behavior. It goes beyond simple algorithms, analyzing voice tones, facial expressions, body heat and even the pace of movement within your home. This sophisticated system interprets these subtle cues to discern your mood with 43% accuracy. IDKYK.ai adjusts your home’s lighting to harmonize with your state of being, creating an ambiance that resonates with your current emotional landscape. It’s a seamless blend of technology and psychology, designed to bring comfort and personalization to your living spaces like never before.

“There’s a lot of buzz around AI and its impact on our lives. We’re excited to announce that Deako is transcending beyond lighting to become a comprehensive smart home company. Our innovations aim to harness AI not as a daunting force, but as a powerful ally for consumer benefit,” said Derek Richardson, CEO and Founder of Deako. “AI isn’t something to fear; it’s a tool to make our lives easier, more comfortable, and yes, even more fun. Who wouldn’t want a home that intelligently adjusts to their needs and preferences?”

Deako users won’t have to make any changes to access IDKYK.ai. Their products will automatically update after April 1 2024.

Disclaimer

Before panic sets in about your lighting system turning into an overly attentive AI overlord, we’d like to clarify: this is a joke. While Deako is passionate about innovating within the smart home space, IDKYK.ai is not a real feature. Our commitment to enhancing home living spaces is serious, but we believe there’s always room for a little humor – especially on April Fool’s Day.

Happy ninth Anniversary to us, and here’s to keeping the lights on (in whatever mood you prefer).
