New features arrive this week

The company introduced the assistant as part of a software update rolling out currently. This revamped feature allows users to control playback and interact with smart home accessories.

Natural language understanding added

Unlike previous versions, the new tool understands natural language requests to answer general knowledge questions. Users can ask for specific music albums or current weather updates without strict phrasing.

Company aims to improve quality

Sonos hopes this release avoids repeating issues from its previous app redesign efforts. The assistant focuses on music curation while supporting third-party AI assistants like ChatGPT.
