Naver Launches Desk Clock-Type Smart Speaker 'Clova Clock+'

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Naver will launch the desk clock-type smart speaker equipped with the artificial intelligence (AI) platform 'Clova,' called 'Clova Clock+,' on the 1st of next month.

According to Naver on the 26th, the biggest feature of 'Clova Clock+' is that it visualizes the most frequently searched daily information by users to enhance convenience. Through the LED display, users can check the current time, alarm settings, fine dust status, and snow/rain forecasts at a glance without any voice commands.

A 'smart remote control' function has also been added, allowing voice control of regular home appliances without Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. Not only existing smart home supported devices but also TVs, set-top boxes, air conditioners, and air purifiers that support infrared remote controls can be linked with 'Clova Clock+'.

Various functions accessible through the Clova smart speaker, such as music/audio content, kids content, daily information search, and English conversation, can be used identically on 'Clova Clock+'.

Naver is also preparing a 'departure timer' function to help users leave on time. By pre-setting the destination, arrival time, and means of transportation, it guides the time to depart by reflecting real-time traffic conditions. This feature is scheduled to be first applied to 'Clova Clock+' in July.

Jung Seok-geun, CEO of Naver Clova, said, "We plan to fully activate AI technology-based business," adding, "Naver Clova will continue to expand the AI technology ecosystem with new devices and services and realize technologies that make people's daily lives more convenient."
