The home is one's own private space to relax and unwind, so the 'Essential Home' is a newly announced innovation that aims to provide users with the ability to enhance their own privacy capabilities. The device is a smart home hub that connects users to their devices by enabling them to perform voice commands to have tasks be completed and much more. Unlike other devices that relay much of the data they transmit to the cloud, the 'Essential Home' aims to limit the amount of information that leaves their home in order to increase overall privacy capabilities.
The 'Essential Home' features an AI engine that it runs locally on the device rather than in the cloud to keep things more private and secure for users.
