"Sonos 27 ", uygulamaya yenilenmiş bir kullanıcı arayüzü getiriyor ve yapay zeka temsilcilerinin sisteminizi kontrol etmesini sağlıyor

Sonos says its system will be able to communicate with any AI system the user chooses.

Alongside a new soundbar and headphones, Sonos is announcing an updated app and some major changes to the underlying OS that powers all of its products. Forgive me for immediately delving into the recent past, but this is likely the biggest software update the company has announced since its absolutely disastrous app update in 2024. Without rehashing too much, Sonos rushed the app update out to enable functionality for its new Ace headphones, but it was missing a ton of key features and was extremely buggy. The cascading effects of this resulted in the dismissal of CEO Patrick Spence and a 2025 where the company didn't release any new products.

But enough about the past. We have to imagine that Sonos learned enough from the 2024 debacle to make sure things are locked up for the launch of Sonos 27 — yup, the company is giving its OS annual version numbers going forward. Perhaps the most significant and inevitable new feature is the ability to let AI control your Sonos system. The Sonos 27 platform will let users connect "any outside AI assistant or agent," including ChatGPT. This means you'll be able to ask whatever AI you're already using to control your system without interrupting whatever else you might be doing.

I'm looking at this as an expansion of what Sonos did years ago when it enabled voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant to work on its speakers.

Google Assistant is now Gemini, and Alexa has gotten a healthy dose of AI as well, so in a lot of ways this is just Sonos keeping up with where the trend is going. Sonos says that it hosts a public MCP (model context protocol) server that any AI can discover and connect to; from there you should be able to ask AI to do everything you'd expect like play specific songs, move audio between speaers or groups, adjust volume and so forth.

Sonos is also previewing Sonos Custom Agents, which the company says will let people create agents with their own "model, persona and voice." And the company also mentioned an updated Sonos 27 voice assistant, "the company's own assistant built for music and mood curation." How this differs from the existing Sonos voice assistant, which is admittedly pretty basic isn't yet clear.
