Retrieval-Augmented Generation Based Assistant: A Smart Home Case Study
摘要
Smart homes are starting to become more present in our daily lives. Smart homes are useful for enabling energy management services and reducing monetary costs of the consumers. Despite the increasing research in these aspects of the smart home, few actually have in mind the interactivity of the system they propose. Therefore, this paper, an extension of a previous work, proposes a new human-machine interface based on multi-agent systems and natural language models with retrieval-augmented generation techniques for smart homes to facilitate the consumers adaptation to this type of systems. The assistant enables the user to control the house and provides him with the information he needs, even when a problem within the system occurs. Through the experiment the assistant showed to be flexible, able to provide answers to questions outside of the smart home system domain and it increases the scalability of the system.
