"The feature enriches Ring notifications, video events, and timeline with personalized context of who is detected, eliminating guesswork and making it effortless to find and review important moments involving specific familiar people across the Ring App experience," Ring said.Familiar Faces will be integrated into Amazon's Alexa+ Greetings system, which Ring says uses AI to act as a doorbell attendant. Users can program the software to provide delivery drivers with automated instructions or send solicitors away.
