Rating: ideal for business! Audi has given its A5, A6, A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron product lines a comprehensive software update<\/span><\/span>\u00b9\u207e<\/span>. The biggest beneficiary is the\u00a0<\/span>Audi assistant<\/span>\u00b2\u207e<\/span>, which thanks to the integration of AI becomes a smart, helpful everyday companion \u2013 whether for navigation, in-car office or\u00a0<\/span>assist<\/span>\u00a0systems<\/span>\u00b3\u207e<\/span>. User choosers can also look forward to more entertainment functions.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]What makes a good personal assistant? Easy: they are\u00a0<\/span>on the same wavelength<\/span>. It is precisely this level of practical assistance that is now available to frequent drivers in various Audi models, thanks to a\u00a0<\/span>comprehensive software update<\/span>\u00b9\u207e <\/span>for the popular business product lines A5, A6, A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron, which adds various new AI-based functions to the self-learning voice assistant Audi assistant<\/span>\u00b2\u207e.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The company has opted to use<\/span>\u00a0OpenAI\u2074\u207e and its ChatGPT language model\u2074\u207e, implemented via the Microsoft Azure OpenAI\u2074\u207e \u2075\u207e<\/span><\/span> service.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Perfect for everyday use<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

A glance at the new features makes clear the benefits for field staff, such as using the Audi assistant<\/span>\u00b2\u207e\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in the connected in-car office to access their calendar or dictate or listen to readouts of e-mails. Navigation too is much simpler with the AI update: even a vague description like \u201cthe Italian restaurant with a view of the Rhine\u201d is sufficient to find the best route there. The Audi assistant\u00b2\u207e<\/span><\/span> can also be used to operate multiple driver assist or convenience systems via voice command, including Adaptive Cruise Assist, distance control or air conditioning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”41270″ img_size=”large” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The right function at the right time<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to the AI update, the Audi assistant<\/span>\u00b2\u207e <\/span><\/span>also recognises frequently recurring patterns. For instance, if Adaptive Cruise Assist is used on motorways, the seat heaters on cold days or the lift function when driving on unmade roads, the system offers to automate these functions as routines. Conversely, the Audi assistant\u00b2\u207e<\/span><\/span> also makes suggestions for trying out certain features in the right situations.<\/span><\/div>\n

Ambience meets entertainment<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talking of the right situations: Audi\u2019s new \u201dexperience worlds\u201c offer specific settings in the relevant product lines. Frequent drivers can select from various modes \u2013 \u201dinspiring\u201c, \u201drelaxing\u201c and \u201dbalancing\u201c \u2013 whereby internal lighting, sound, massage function and air conditioning are adjusted automatically accordingly. The fully electric models also feature a \u201dpower nap\u201c mode for restful charging breaks. Last but not least, the update gives users (and their offspring) improved entertainment and in-car gaming options: it is child\u2019s play to connect Bluetooth headphones or wireless gaming controllers.<\/p>\n
