Toronto, Ontario – Mapbox, an American-based location statistic mapping company, has recently launched a conversational Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) service so that North American OEMs can create customized voice assistants.
The goal of this recent launch is to create voice assistants for OEMs that are capable of delivering a more natural and actionable conversation to drivers.
Mapbox uses its own location services and combines them with real-time information about a driver’s location, destination, and surroundings, so that the conversation provided by MapGPT is more comprehensible.
“At Mapbox, we are applying the power of AI to keep pace with drivers’ evolving needs and expectations,” said CEO Peter Sirota in a statement. “Mapbox enables carmakers to customize all aspects of the navigation experience and innovate on behalf of the driver… Customers are in control of privacy, safety, style, and actions of the assistants they build.”
The program is powered by the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 large language models from OpenAI, and can function offline. It allows drivers to navigate home, find an electric vehicle charging station, access their user manually, and search for other locations from Mapbox data even if there is no internet connectivity.
