Operation:
Users verbally request work processes, the system delivers step-by-step directions and tracks
the time spent on each step. Upon completing all steps, the system asks the user for feedback
on how to improve the process, their performance, or anything other performance-related factor.
.
Make Database Records
Standard Operating Procedures, like recipes,
assemblies and/or high tech procedures are entered
into a cloud database as records; one text field per
instruction or step.
Pythia WiFi Earphone
Upon power up, the Pythia device automatically
connects to an in-range, pre-configured secure WiFi
channel, finds the user account it's assigned to, then
asks user to request a process. The earphone has a
microphone, speaker and control buttons that operate
June 8, 2020 12

the system. The battery lasts around 5 hours and fully
recharges via micro-USB in around 30 minutes.
Conversational Interface
Like Siri or Cortana, Pythia uses a conversational
user interface to operate the system by speaking the
wake word, "OK", and the commands, "Next", "Quit",
"Repeat", "Help", and to process titles.
802.11n WiFi
Pythia runs on regular, pre-configured, 802.11n WiFi
channels, >60mbps or faster. Upon power up,
earphones automatically connect to an in-range,
pre-configured WiFi channel, finds the user account
it's assigned to, then asks user to request a process.
Cloud Database
Processes/recipes, user accounts, and performance
data are all kept in our cloud database. For complete
security, no process, step, or performance data is
ever saved outside the cloud; everything operates
on-the-fly.
Text-to-Speech
After the system finds a requested process to run,
Pythia converts the record's first text field to speech
and plays it on-the-fly to the earphone.
June 8, 2020 13

Digital Timer
A timer begins. It ends when the user finishes the
step and says, "OK. Next."
Next Steps
After completing a step, the user says, "OK. Next",
the system stops the timer, calculates the
performance duration, uploads the data to the cloud,
converts the next step's text to speech, and plays it
on-the-fly to the earphone.
Feedback
After completing all the steps of a process, Pythia
asks users to provide their optional feedback.
Recycle to Beginning
After the feedback phase, Pythia recycles to the
beginning and asks the user to request a process.
Analytics
Performance data is immediately available and can
be sorted down to individual performer, date range,
and specific process STEP. The standard Mean
Performance Report automatically calculates a mean
performance duration for the sorted data and
highlights it relative to the mean. Scores are
June 8, 2020 14

assigned; Green is for events closest to mean, Red is
the farthest from the mean, and Gold includes best
practices and the best chance to deliver the highest
Return On Investment when achieved.
Global SOP Updates
Companies using Pythia can update and deliver
process updates anywhere in the world simply by
editing database text fields.
Our auto-translation capability enables our clients to
write their SOPs in one language and deliver it in over
100 other languages, in real time.
Alerts!
Pythia users can request help by saying, "OK. Help."
or by Long-Pressing the Alert Button on the earphone
to send an immediate text message to their
supervisor. A text alert is also sent when users don't
spend the minimum expected amount of time on
"Critical Process Steps".
NO Phones!
For more than a decade, technologies have
converged with dependency on phones and tablets.
The next decade will begin the divergence from
phones. Pythia's Patented technologies are
trailblazing because they don't require a phone or
June 8, 2020 15

tablet. This also adds to our clients ROI by saving
them thousands of dollars in collective phone costs.
Hands-free
Like Siri and Cortana, Pythia operates by voice,
which enables it to navigate completely hands-free.
This is important when safety, cleanliness, efficiency,
and accuracy matter.
