Sonos launches Presets and opens US waitlist for 27voice AI beta

Sonos has released a major app update introducing new Presets and early access to its AI voice assistant. The Presets feature allows users to create specific commands that play music at a designated volume in a particular room. These custom presets appear directly on the app’s homescreen, enabling quick playback initiation.

In the United States, users can sign up for the waitlist for the Sonos 27voice assistant on November 6th. Access to the beta version of the assistant is scheduled to begin on November 12th. Sonos previously teased that the 27voice assistant will allow users to start music, move playback to different rooms, group and ungroup speakers, and set timers. The company also noted that the assistant is capable of completing more complex tasks, though the specific details of these capabilities were cut off in the provided text.
