Designed for the way your device is used.
Start with your market, device format and core interactions.
Wearables & recorders
Evaluate speech recognition, translation, transcription and summaries for glasses, earbuds and recording devices.
AI plush toys
Combine on-device wake-up, defined characters, interactive stories and knowledge Q&A.
Interactive story devices
Connect multilingual speech and interactive questions with reviewed learning content.
Companion robots
Evaluate continuous dialogue, interruption, contextual responses and device actions.
Learning devices
Explore bilingual dialogue, speaking practice and permissions alongside parental controls and content governance.
Other voice interfaces
Select cloud capabilities for speakers, desktop devices and home interfaces.
Two ways to connect. One product goal.
Choose usage-based services or a device License. Agree on capabilities, scope and budget first.
A / Native cloud AI APIs
- For teams that want direct access to provider APIs and flexible service choices.
- Assessment, interaction design and integration support for services such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
- Regional architecture, network planning, PoC, prototype testing and cost analysis.
- Provider charges depend on usage, region and service. SnowEngine consulting, development, deployment and support are scoped separately.
B / Device-based AI License
- One activated License per device, within the agreed term, capability tier and fair-use scope.
- Combine recognition, translation, speech synthesis, model conversations and tool calls through REST / WebSocket interfaces.
- Documentation, examples, device authentication, individual keys, activation, expiry and rollout support.
- Purchased per device and term, with no extra per-minute, per-call or per-token charges within the agreed scope. Test terms, tiers and renewal require confirmation.
Which approach fits your product?
Swipe horizontally to compare both options
| Consideration | Native APIs | Device AI License |
|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Teams building direct provider integrations | Teams seeking unified integration and device-based budgeting |
| Interface | Provider-specific APIs selected for the project | Unified REST / WebSocket interfaces |
| Cost model | Varies with usage, region and service | Agreed per device, tier and service term |
| Customization | Flexible selection for complex architectures | Standard combinations for production devices |
| First step | Map requirements, architecture and usage budget | Confirm device scale, tier and fair-use boundaries |
From understanding a voice to completing a task.
Validate each capability against languages, devices, service regions and the selected plan.
Wake-up & recognition
Design speech input around on-device wake-up, noise reduction and echo handling.
Natural speech output
Evaluate voices and expression for the product character, language and use case.
Real-time conversations
Evaluate streaming audio, interruptions, context and tools on a real prototype.
Languages & translation
Combine recognition, translation and synthesis for bilingual and cross-language experiences.
Stories & knowledge
Build Q&A and interactive stories around reviewed characters, knowledge and content.
Multimodal input & tools
Assess image understanding and tools such as knowledge, weather and time services.
Context & expression
Adapt response style to meaning, tone and device state; not for medical or psychological diagnosis.
Validate first. Then scale.
Agree on test goals, deliverables and exit criteria at every stage.
01 / Assess
Define the device, markets, languages, essential functions and expected scale.
02 / Prototype
Test one or two key scenarios for interaction quality, data flow, cost and fallback behavior.
03 / Launch
Confirm interfaces, authentication, activation, traffic protection and launch acceptance criteria.
04 / Operate
Provide agreed monitoring, troubleshooting, usage analysis, optimization and renewal support.
Agree on capabilities, licensing and data boundaries.
Microsoft and Google provide native AI and cloud services; SnowEngine supports assessment, procurement, integration, architecture, PoC and operations. Confirm language, voice, model, region, quota and licensing details at project kickoff. For children’s products, assess age suitability, parental notice and consent, content controls, data minimization and retention. Customers remain responsible for product compliance decisions with qualified advice; technical support is not a compliance guarantee.
