Voice assistants have plateaued. If you are tired of hearing the famous "I don't understand", from your smart speakers, it's time for an upgrade. Today, I'm showing you how I completely replaced my traditional voice assistants with ChatGPT 5. Using the brand new SwitchBot AI Hub and the OpenClaw platform, I can now text or send voice memos to my house via WhatsApp. It understands deep context, asks follow-up questions, and controls my entire smart home (including Philips Hue, Sonos, SwitchBot's gear, and soon...Home Assistant). It’s the biggest leap forward in smart home tech I’ve seen, and the hardware powering it is a 6-in-1 powerhouse. Here is exactly how it works, what it costs to run, and why it changes everything. 👇 Gear & Setup Links: 🛒 Get the SwitchBot AI Hub: US: https://bit.ly/4sotSXg, CA: https://bit.ly/3N5tY7o (affiliate links) 📺 Watch the Step-by-Step Hub Setup Guide: https://youtu.be/MwLyihUQDUY Here's the cable you'll need to connect the AI Hub to a screen: https://geni.us/fZBTT (Amazon affiliate link) Here's the converter you'll need to get this connected to ethernet: https://geni.us/ZX1aVt (Amazon affiliate link) Timecodes for today's video: 0:00 - The Smart Home Plateau 1:46 - Why This is So Amazing 7:02 - The Engine Powering It 11:15 - What Is The Price Tag For This 13:09 - I Am Not Locked In Channel links: Join this channel's member program to get access to extra videos, early releases, and our member's vault!
