Josh.ai, the leader in artificial intelligence for the custom channel, is doubling down on dealer enablement at CEDIA Expo 2026. As the capabilities of the smart home advance and client expectations rise in the era of AI, the launch of ProStudio by Josh.ai provides dealers with a suite of modern tools purposefully built for professional installation. ProStudio introduces a new Automations builder with AI-generated programming, Nimble DevSuite+ for advanced device integration and interoperability, and the redesigned Josh.ai Help Center with streamlined access to technical resources and training.
Josh.ai is fundamentally changing the economics of system design and deployment with ProStudio. The platform reduces programming time from hours to minutes, enables more customisation without additional labour, expands what’s possible on every project, and allows integrators to deliver more value to their clients than ever before. The ProStudio launch illustrates how Josh.ai is elevating industry expectations and empowering the custom channel to deploy the generation of intelligent homes.
“Control systems have traditionally forced integrators to choose between customisation and programming time. Our AI changes that,” said Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai. “With ProStudio, dealers can describe what they want a home to do and let Josh.ai handle the underlying programming. Combined with broader interoperability and more flexibility throughout the ecosystem, these updates help our partners do more with the same resources, differentiate their work, deliver better experiences for every client, and ultimately build more profitable, successful businesses.”
Automations represent the latest Josh.ai innovation by bringing generative AI directly into the programming workflow. Similar to how large language models transform natural language into useful general-purpose assistance, Automations translate an integrator’s intent into sophisticated custom home programming. What once required extensive overhead for legacy systems can now be created and refined conversationally in minutes.
Rather than manually building personalised scenes, conditional logic, triggers, schedules, device adjustments, and whole-home activations, installers can simply describe what a client wants their home to do. For example, to open the shades each morning only when it is sunny, to adjust lights differently based on occupancy and time of day, or to orchestrate multiple devices across the property for a nighttime routine. Automations generate the programming necessary to bring any experience to life.
