Koti is a living portal to where users currently or previously lived, places where they called home. The device delivers relevant content daily to bring the user closer to home. The content can be as simple as the local time, current weather, or in-depth information about what is currently happening at home. To extend beyond audio content, the device also creates a more human connection by facilitating conversations through direct VOIP voice calling, audio message sharing, listening to news together while enjoying some friendly banter, and sharing audio news with friends and family from designated home locations. The network on koti is small and intimate, including only your closest connections. Koti is built on a curated news platform that delivers content from different geographic locations specified by the user. Koti news personnel gather audio clips from podcasts, television, radio, and the internet and deliver it through koti. Koti holds the most relevant content based on important and trending stories from home location(s).
