Sonos adds new Presets and prepares for the 27voice AI beta

Early access testing for the Sonos AI voice assistant is right around the corner.

Sonos AI 语音助手的抢先体验测试即将到来。

Sonos is rolling out a big app update that includes new Presets and early access to its AI voice assistant. You can create a preset to play music at a specific volume in a certain room, which will appear directly on the homescreen so you can quickly start playback.

Sonos 正在推出一项重大的应用程序更新,其中包括新的预设功能以及对其 AI 语音助手的抢先体验。你可以创建一个预设,在特定房间以特定音量播放音乐,该预设将直接显示在主屏幕上,以便你快速开始播放。

If you’re in the US, you can also sign up for a spot on the waitlist for the new Sonos 27voice assistant on November 6th, with access starting on November 12th.

如果你身处美国,还可以从 11 月 6 日起注册加入全新的 Sonos 27voice 语音助手候补名单,并于 11 月 12 日开始获得访问权限。

As teased by Sonos previously, you’ll be able to use the assistant to do things like start music, move playback to another room, group and ungroup speakers, and set timers. But Sonos says it can also complete more complicated requests using natural language, such as “Play the album with a sardine tin on the cover,” or “Who was the singer at the superbowl? Play their latest album on Hallway.”

正如 Sonos 此前预告的那样,你将能够使用该助手执行诸如启动音乐、将播放转移到另一个房间、对扬声器进行分组或取消分组以及设置计时器等操作。但 Sonos 表示,它还可以使用自然语言完成更复杂的请求,例如“播放封面上有沙丁鱼罐头的那张专辑”,或者“超级碗的歌手是谁?在走廊播放他们最新的专辑”。

These updates are part of efforts to recover from a disastrous app redesign in 2024, which Sonos CEO Tom Conrad has promised to reverse. The company launched a revamped Sonos 27 app operating system update in September with the ability to connect AI agents to the app. Sonos plans to allow users to create up to 10 custom agents as well.

这些更新是 Sonos 为从 2024 年灾难性的应用程序重新设计中恢复所做努力的一部分,Sonos 首席执行官 Tom Conrad 已承诺扭转这一局面。该公司在 9 月份推出了经过改进的 Sonos 27 应用程序操作系统更新,具备了将 AI 代理连接到应用程序的功能。Sonos 还计划允许用户创建最多 10 个自定义代理。

Other features coming to the Sonos app in this update include the ability to swipe on the “Now Playing” screen or mini player to skip tracks, and a way to rearrange your favorites. The Sonos app can also work with the iOS-only System Health feature, which can help you spot problems in your setup.

此次更新中 Sonos 应用程序的其他功能包括:在“正在播放”屏幕或迷你播放器上滑动以跳过曲目,以及重新排列收藏夹的方法。Sonos 应用程序还可以与仅限 iOS 的“系统健康”功能配合使用,这有助于你发现设置中的问题。
