Screen Innovations® (SI) and Shade Innovations®, the Austin-based manufacturer of premium projection screens and window coverings sold through the CEDIA custom integration channel in more than 72 countries, today announced ATEN, an AI-powered support assistant built exclusively for its global network of dealers and installers.
Named after the ancient Egyptian sun god whose light reached everyone, everywhere, ATEN was designed to provide instant access to SI expertise—anytime, from anywhere. Whether at a desk, on a jobsite, or atop a ladder on a late Sunday evening, dealers and installers can access accurate guidance and answers in seconds through text or voice.
Purpose-built for the custom integration industry, ATEN has been trained on SI’s extensive library of product documentation, recorded support calls, installation guides, specifications, technical resources, and support knowledge. ATEN delivers immediate assistance across the company’s entire portfolio, including motorized screens, window coverings, Black Diamond®, SI Motor Technology, Zigbee and PoE protocols, the SI Ecosystem, drapery solutions, and more.
The result is faster problem-solving, reduced downtime, and around-the-clock 24/7/365 access to trusted information —without hold times, endless document searches, or waiting for business hours.
What ATEN does for the SI dealer network:
- Answers almost anything. Install steps, setup, troubleshooting, how-to, and smart-home integration questions — answered instantly from SI’s official documentation, never guessed.
- Tracks orders in real time. Enter an order or case number and ATEN returns ship status, tracking, and expected dates on the spot — right when the customer is standing there asking.
- Plans the wireless network. A guided Zigbee planning tool helps installers design a reliable motorized network the first time, killing callbacks before they happen.
- Sees and hears. Snap a photo of a wiring run or a label, or just talk instead of type — built for hands that are already full.
- Knows its lane. When a request needs pricing, custom spicing, or a human, ATEN routes it automatically to the right SI team — Inside Sales or Design Services — with the details attached. Nobody ever hits a dead end.
- Follows you everywhere. ATEN runs in any browser and installs to a phone or desktop home screen like a native app. Sign in once and your conversation history follows you from job site to office — same thread, light or dark mode.
