Example Natural Language Interactions:

Traditional Command: "Turn on projector"
AI-Enhanced Commands:
- "Set up the room for our quarterly presentation"
- "Make the lighting comfortable for note-taking during this video call"
- "Switch to the backup projector and adjust settings to match the main display"
- "The presenter's microphone is picking up too much background noise"

AI System Response:
1. Analyzes command intent and context
2. Considers current room state and scheduled meeting
3. Executes complex multi-system sequence
4. Provides verbal confirmation and next-step suggestions

AI Troubleshooting Conversation Example:

User: "The screen is too dark and I can't see the presentation clearly"

AI System Analysis:
1. Checks projector lamp hours and brightness settings
2. Analyzes ambient light sensor data
3. Reviews presentation content type (dark background detected)
4. Considers user's historical preferences

AI Response: "I've increased the projector brightness by 15% and adjusted the room lighting for better contrast with your dark-background slides. The projector lamp has 800 hours remaining and is performing normally. Would you like me to save these settings for future presentations with similar content?"

User: "Yes, and can you make the audio louder too?"

AI: "Audio increased to 75%. I've also enhanced the midrange frequencies to improve speech clarity for your presentation style. These settings are now saved to your user profile."
