Most of the appliances will also offer a built-in speaker so that they can react audibly to the commands. IAI Smart emphasizes the ease of use that this offers. "Our guiding principle is simple: make smart home technology easier for everyone," said Jason Jiang, CEO of IAI Smart. "Voice control should be effortless, and now it is." And because everything is on-device, personal information never leaves the home."

The tower fans are offered in multiple sizes and price points, and the appliances emphasize ease of use and straightforward voice control for common functions such as speed, timers, and power.
