“We aim to give disabled people a choice on whatever they want to do,” further asserts the industry veteran. Apart from improving the quality of life, Frasil also enables disabled people to catch up to the lifecycle of normal users. “Ultimately, technology has responsibility. Our AI-powered humanoid takes responsibility.”


The Architecture behind the Humanoid

For personalizing the platform according to the users, the technology has a preference engine which asks a series of questions to each user. Once those questions are answered, the operating system switches according to the specific needs of users. “We are simplifying the use of computers and smart devices by tailoring the system according to the individual needs of each user.” One of the unique factors of the platform is even if there are 100 million concurrent users; the humanoid delivers a distinct and personalized experience for each user. Owing to the personalized feature, the platform responds uniquely to each user in a way they want it to. Further, the platform is capable of building its own screens as it can comprehend every bit of information given by the user. The technology also has a series of funnels to determine each user’s behaviour over five log on interactions. By applying AI methodologies in that period, the humanoid comprehends the empirical actions and the academics of each user and accordingly chooses, for example, the language for understanding each user’s style of speaking. “We teach the computer like a five-year schoolchild.” In the next two years, the platform will be democratized in more than 65 languages.

The Customized Feature

After understanding the specific demands of each user, the platform customizes itself accordingly. Conversely, the humanoid does not dictate the outcome to the user and remains as the user sees the world. With the information and knowledge, humanoid can interact for the user and indulge in a conversation with family, friends, or the broader world. Further, the humanoid can elucidate the actions in the world to the user and converse with him/her about the other facets of life. It can also reduce loneliness through initiating a conversation with a companion.

The Quintessential Helping Hand

A distinct factor built-in within the humanoid that makes it unparalleled is the language and knowledge base that allows easy translation to other languages. Frasil is also compatible with various devices and can assist a person in using the World Wide Web and manage other aspects of day-to-day life.

Elaborating on the various applications of Frasil, Fran cites a few customer success stories. Stephen, a patient who hadn’t spoken in 58 years, was able to communicate with his carers and family through the use of the Frasil humanoid.

A Thriving Future

Forging ahead, Fran mentions that the company is planning on adding additional features to its AI neural network platform, which will make it possible for the system to serve PLWD in extraordinary ways. “Technological advances to the system will be driven by the needs and desires of our users,” says Fran. Intelligent Humanoids such as Frasil’s are just the beginning of technology empowering people with disabilities and helping them to live a better life.
