Škoda Auto announces the integration of the AI-based chatbot ChatGPT into its Laura voice assistant. This important step will enhance the in-vehicle experience of many customers and help to make everyday life easier. Škoda models based on MEB GP and MQB EVO platforms will benefit from this new feature. They will be able to access a vast AI database and have content read out to them while driving. This new function is powered by Cerence Chat Pro from technology partner Cerence Inc., offering a unique, automotive-grade ChatGPT integration. Personal data and vehicle information are protected at all time.
The new chatbot will be offered together with the latest generation of infotainment systems from mid-2024. It will be available in the following models based on the MEB GP and MQB EVO platforms: selected versions of the Škoda Enyaq, the new-generation Škoda Superb and Kodiaq and the updated Škoda Octavia. Enabled by Cerence Chat Pro, the integration of ChatGPT into the Laura voice assistant introduces a variety of new capabilities that go far beyond the previous voice commands. The Laura voice assistant can be used, for example, to control the infotainment, navigation and air conditioning and answer general knowledge questions. In the future, AI will provide additional information in response to questions that go beyond this as part of its constantly growing capabilities. This can be helpful during a car journey: Enriching conversations, clearing up questions, interacting in intuitive language, receiving vehicle-specific information, and much more — completely hands-free for even more safety for driver and passengers.

00:04 Talking about connectivity, let me show you a new feature that will soon make
00:09 your ŠKODA experience even more interactive and rewarding.
00:13 Okay Laura, why should I use voice control in my ŠKODA?
00:18 From CHAT GPT, using voice control in your ŠKODA can offer several benefits.
00:25 Firstly, it allows for hands-free operation. Secondly, it provides convenience by allowing you to control various functions
00:33 without needing to take your hands off the steering wheel.
00:36 Makes absolute sense. Okay Laura, my wife is cooking spaghetti carbonara tonight.
00:45 Can you give me a list of ingredients we need?
00:48 According to CHAT GPT, to make spaghetti carbonara, you will need spaghetti pasta, bacon or pancetta,
00:56 eggs, parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic and olive oil.
01:02 Well, sounds tempting, right? Let's do something funny.
01:06 Okay Laura, I always wanted to know if penguins have knees.
01:13 According to CHAT GPT, yes, penguins do have knees.
01:19 However, their knees are located inside their bodies, making them not visible externally.
