JBL introduces CORY: a smart chat agent for aquariums, terrariums and garden ponds

For the first time, CORY makes JBL’s decades of expert knowledge available round the clock. The intelligent chat agent supports pet owners with personalised recommendations for aquariums, terrariums and garden ponds – online, on the product itself and, in future, in specialist shops too.

Neuhofen – JBL is expanding its digital customer support with the addition of an intelligent chat agent: CORY. For the first time, this digital expert brings together JBL’s publicly available knowledge on aquariums, terrariums and garden ponds in a single, centralised, intelligent platform that is available round the clock.

The name CORY stands for the principles of Care, Observe, Recommend, You. Animal welfare is at the heart of every consultation. Unlike traditional chatbots, CORY does more than just answer individual questions. The chat agent analyses individual situations, explains technical concepts and develops specific, clear solutions.

CORY’s knowledge base comprises product information, user guides, specialist articles, advice guides, themed sections, FAQs, and content from JBL TV and JBL Wild Nature. This enables CORY to bring together knowledge from a wide variety of sources and utilise it to provide personalised advice.

Whether at home with your aquarium, if you have questions about your terrarium, or right by your garden pond: CORY supports users exactly when they need help. In future, the chat agent will be available not only online, but also directly with the product and on the shelves at selected specialist retailers.

Technologically, CORY is based on a modern multi-agent architecture from NEOCOM, whilst the structured knowledge base was developed in collaboration with October Labs GmbH. To this end, thousands of items of product, service, press and knowledge content from the JBL systems were processed and made suitable for use in modern AI applications.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event outside the context of a website, such as a new blog post, a competition or a voucher.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
