Device Agent in action
From device model to an agent that acts
The agent understands device capabilities, reads live state, executes commands, and returns verified results — through chat, voice, IM, or your own app.
Define properties, commands, and events once. Device Agent turns them into a reusable device model for simulation, control, code generation, and A2A collaboration.
The challenge
Building AI devices is hard — and it isn't about the model
Agentic AI can reason and decide, but the path from intent to physical device stays broken. Device semantics get rebuilt across firmware, cloud, apps, voice, and AI logic.
Agentic AI ≠ device control
Reasoning models can plan, but don't natively grasp target devices, commands, parameter limits, or execution results.
Late hardware bring-up
Issues only surface after firmware, cloud, apps, and AI are wired together.
Per-channel re-integration
Web, mobile, IM, voice, and business systems each rebuild the same device controls.
Different stacks, different teams, the same device semantics rebuilt over and over.
The solution
Meet Device Agent
Define a device once, and the same definition powers the runtime, A2A collaboration, generated firmware, voice and vision, and every application surface.

AI device modeling
Describe a device in plain language — or hand over a structured file — and get a single DeviceSpec covering its commands, state, and events.

What's the current temperature?
The current temperature is 24.5°C with 62% humidity. The target is set to 23°C in cooling mode.
It feels warm. Can you lower it?
Done! I've lowered the target to 22°C and switched to turbo cooling. You should feel the difference in about 3 minutes.
Device Agent runtime
Each device class gets one AI entry point. Chat to check state, send commands, compare devices side by side, and switch between real hardware and simulation in the same view.

Generate device program
Once the DeviceSpec is confirmed, generate the device-side program. It handles connection, presence, telemetry, and command response — leaving sensors, actuators, drivers, and business logic to your team.

Done! Living room lights are on at 80% brightness.
Voice & Vision
Bring voice and vision into the same device session. Talk to a device, or let the device read the image, screen, or scene in front of it.
