Pythia - IoT based Verbal Workflow Management System

Pythia verbally delivers work instructions on demand, step-by-step, hands free, globally, and captures the time users spend on each step along with their continuous improvement feedback. Pythia uses an iOS or Android app, an off-the-shelf earphone or headphone, cloud services, and a conversational user interface. Users verbally request a workflow to perform, then begin hearing instructions within 1 second when using 5G devices on 5G networks.
