How to Create Natural‑Language Scenes in Josh AI That Actually Work

Josh AI is powerful because it understands natural language, but scenes must be structured correctly to avoid confusion. Here’s how to build scenes that respond consistently.

1. Use Clear, Intent‑Based Names

Avoid vague scene names like “Movie Time.”

Use names that describe the action:

• “Start Movie”

• “Watch TV”

• “Relax Lighting”

Josh responds better to verbs.

2. Group Devices Logically

A scene should include:

• Lighting

• Shades

• Audio

• Video

• Climate (optional)

Josh executes grouped actions more reliably than scattered commands.

3. Add Multiple Natural‑Language Triggers

For example, a “Start Movie” scene might also respond to:

• “Let’s watch a movie”

• “Turn on the theater”

• “Movie mode”

This improves recognition.

4. Keep Scenes Short and Predictable

Avoid overloading scenes with too many actions.

If a scene takes more than 5–7 seconds to execute, break it into smaller parts.

5. Test With Real Voice Commands

Josh AI learns from usage.

Test scenes with:

• Fast speech

• Slow speech

• Background noise

• Different accents

This ensures clients get consistent results.
