In August 2017, it was announced that the artificial intelligence platform would be used in their smart speaker series: The Wave speaker, released in Korea as Wave[2] (sometimes referred to as Naver Wave) and in Japan as Line Wave for the Korean and Japanese markets[3]), is the first smart speaker using Clova. The Friends speaker (or Clova Wave in Japan), a LINE Friends character themed speaker, was the second smart speaker powered by the platform.
In October 2020, Naver released 'Clova Lamp', an AI light that reads books. It works when you open a book under the camera on the lamp and press the book reading button or say 'Clova, read me a book.' This product can read books in English as well as Korean.[4]
Interface edit
Clova Interface Connect is Clova's platform service for hardware manufacturers and IOT companies. It provides a simple way for connecting Clova to speakers, microphones, and any other internet-connected device. It provides APIs, SDKs, and development documentation to connect Clova to your devices and provide voice-based services. This can be applied to a wide range of products, including everyday mobile devices, cars, security system smart speakers, and home IoT devices like robotic vacuum cleaners.[5]
