Participated · Seed · Nov 2017
Roxy develops a combined modular hardware and software voice system designed specifically for businesses, with configurable features like USB ports, screens, and speakers based on use case. The company emphasizes giving customers control of their data and tailoring voice commands by industry and location. For hotels, Roxy’s devices can replace alarm clocks, speakers, USB chargers, and telephones while answering guest questions about services and logistics. The hardware is modular so configurations vary by venue (hotels get full feature sets; supermarkets get stripped-down versions). Roxy has created lightweight software integrations for legacy hotel systems, included a screen to train users, a prominent on/off button, and aims for devices to answer within three interactions. The company is initially concentrating on hotels with 10 paying pilots on the West Coast and plans to expand into airports, supermarkets, museums, and hospitals.
