Zepp Health, a leading provider of smart wearable health technology, and more well known as the makers of Amazfit smartwatches, has announced a significant update to its Zepp OS 3.5, featuring the innovative AI-powered Zepp Flow for the Amazfit Balance models.
This update introduces the first operating system to incorporate a Natural-Language User Interface (LUI) driven by a large language model (LLM) AI, enabling users to interact with their devices through natural speech.
The Zepp Flow technology allows users to communicate with their wearable devices in a conversational manner, making it easier to manage various functions such as scheduling, replying to notifications, and checking the weather. By integrating AI into all aspects of Zepp OS 3.5, the device can recognize and execute commands based on the user’s voice, offering a more personalized and seamless experience.
Ms. Chow Kar Mun, Marketing Manager-Malaysia, highlighted the revolutionary impact of Zepp FlowTM on health technology. “The Natural-Language User Interface, powered by LLM AI, offers a seamless, user-friendly way to monitor and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Users simply describe their needs, and Zepp FlowTM will recognize and provide the most appropriate response,” she said.
