A charging Place where he drives automatically to get charged up would be the killer feature

[@kierra8693]

I love this little guy. One thing I did wish was that he had a voice. I feel like the ability to talk can make them even more personable and companion-like

[@EricJKuhns]

I 100% agree! If they can add voice to it, which they may be planning, this would be one of my favorite AI robots. Thank you so much for watching!

[@mytrisangel]

same, voice would be the future

[@wrhj66]

They showed an update where he has a voice now.

[@acerola8443]

​@@wrhj66wow

[@TheMirthrindir]

Great video. Looks fun. Could you get an updated app and test his voice?

[@rsmith5201]

Like others have mentioned, it needs a voice. Most cell phones today do have text to speech. Using the existing text to speech engine would allow owners/users to customize Looi's speech / voice to they like, without need to design and program an entirely new voice and text to speech engine.Looi can access and use the camera, microphone, Bluetooth. So adding/programming it to access and use the text to voice would be 1) the simplest and 2) the most cost effective.

[@ivanoflavender9523]

fantastic review! I'm glad these companies are seeing the value in having someone like you engage with their products! You also have a great community you are building! You have a new subscriber

[@noahplayergamer2039]

I like how looi just looks at the camera every time he does a review or talks directly to it

[@pachabee4949]

Backed! Can't wait! I think it has a lot of potential, being its on the phone and as an app. The updates will keep coming.

[@EricJKuhns]

I feel the same!!

[@mrinmoybanik5598]

Amazing! Using a smartphone to offload most of the computationally heavy stuff and saving cost on things like screen,speakers,mic and camera is soo clever! I hope they add a fully personalized voice synthesis before production. And a sdk to program it would be an awesome add-on! It will then make a great learning device!❤❤❤ Best of luck Tangible Future! 👍 I'll surely back you guys😊

[@nsbd90now]

I definitely think this looks like fun thing and I like that it uses your phone rather than being some whole separate thing.

[@pachabee4949]

I think I've been watching this video every day, lol. I want a Looi!

[@clairew1987]

Great video! He’s a sweet little guy! I know this is totally random but I love seeing how proud you are of your wife- your lovely picture of the two of you together in the background and you even mentioned her. This is rare in today’s society and it’s so lovely to see! 😁

[@Shardcives]

XD Emo is just calmly listening to the final review rant in the background

[@katesmiles4208]

Cute as a button. ❤ and a great use of old phones 👍

[@fmax6000]

Great idea, but how would an old phone work without MagSafe! It needs iPhone 12 and above to have MagSafe. Not really old phones.

[@mistercreator8993]

Damn am already sign up on the site this blow me away cant wait to get mines hope there actually go through with this idea . Amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@X_HHHH]

Super cool product, fantastic review😍🤩😘

[@EricJKuhns]

Thanks for watching!

[@kalkan19701]

Great review. New subscriber.

[@timrod94]

I would love for Lool to look at items in realtime, talk back, and also give practical advice like Pi Ai

[@freemagicfun]

I am surprised they have done so little in gesture control on phones. I had an MSI Netbook almost 20 years ago that used facial gesture to play games. Good to see them work with it on this robot. 😎

[@RockonUUUandU]

Nice review video bro! And tell them that please let Looi talk!

[@mykolakriukov1252]

Definitely cool thing i would love to have on my desk!

[@lucascoster9765]

what phone do you use on the looi? do you use an iPhone 11 Pro? or something similar to that size?

[@andepen6820]

Charging dock like a robo lawnmower or robo cleaner connected through home assistant or w/e would be cool. Detecting when you leave for work (or when reaching low battery if working from home) to get charged so it can keep your phone going/charge it once you slap your phone on there.

[@SiRTK009999]

Hello, it's a lovely robot, does the looi support the mandarin?

[@johnrogers6047]

Does it have security cam options

[@sansin0]

9:23 POV: LOOI with phone falls, our reaction: 🗿

[@Jawwaad1111]

I’m curious about how much power it uses. Is the most power consumed from the body or from the phone because it seems like it would drain the battery on the phone fast. I’m not sure if you touched on this but it would be nice if it was charging your phone while connected to the body.

[@elangelcabrera5165]

One question, it works with any phone or just Apple.

[@Trevtron24]

Hello , does the phone need to have a working sim or just be connected to wi-fi a voice would sell it to me Thanks

[@booboofiziert]

Love it ❤😊

[@UlanbatorNights]

What about the voice module

[@mirshia5248]

super neat, too bad kickstarter and not out for sale

[@thekazturtrip]

Hi how can I get this on TestFlight ?

[@Lynxto1]

这是哪里买的呀，官网似乎说要今年 8 月才发货😢

[@angleofattak]

I get the feeling that it does talk but he had it on silent mode so it wasn’t talking. It even prompted him at one point to turn on the mic and referred to itself as the only one talking.

[@samcws]

Even though its using a smart phone but the developer didn't make it speak and the face expression is somehow simple regardless the phone can display a lot. It work the same as EMO but to me EMO is a better chose as you don't need a smart phone to make it work and Looi with the smart phone doesn't do much more than EMO either. BTW, with the charging station, EMO goes back by its own when its battery run low, doesn't need me to put it on the charging deck (it came with WIRELESS charging deck which look like a skate board).

[@defnesh15.5]

100% distraction. I want one! 😁

[@WarriorZero12]

is it only ios?

[@Skipler-J320]

Hey Eric, J., what phone were you using to test out LOOI with?

[@EricJKuhns]

It’s an iPhone 15 pro and thanks for watching! 🙏

[@Cyba_IT]

I'm saying this on all the Looi videos because I just found out about "him" but this is one of those things I'm surprised hasn't been done before. It's such a cool idea! One question, is it possible to turn the "Looi" personality off and just have it as a dope phone holder? Maybe keep the tracking and GPT stuff.

[@ethantemprovich5989]

Just don’t open the looi app

[@NeoVdV]

What's happen when receiving and making à call ? Sending messages ? Etc.

[@bredyhopi]

they really should add integration with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace so that it works well for people that work in large companies

[@MOOSEMAN7809]

I would absolutely buy LOOI if he had a voice. I feel like having to read the little icon on the screen everytime would get kind of tiring. He'd feel more like a little robot pet with a cute robotic voice.

[@justinmobile8112]

Needs clock, alarms, weather news, camera on base for a video feed when using RC mode. Needs to be Android compatible.

[@Christian_Luczejko]

That light makes it look cold af in that room. Are you filming this with a Nokia 3310?

[@lachopakapura]

Dose it charge the phone when in use?

[@EricJKuhns]

It does!

[@mytrisangel]

we are in the future

[@SamuelRodriguez-ux1vi]

If it would have a voice instead of text I would consider buying it.

[@mistercreator8993]

This video and robot is truly amazing i cant stop watching this video this is my third time .😅

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

The written responses should be vocalised ! It needs a voice that you can choose based on what gender you would like, Alexa/Apple/Google connectivity and charging cradle/dock

[@suatates5291]

Where is it sold?

[@EricJKuhns]

Through the kickstarter link!

[@ChristofferBergquist]

Do we know if this "robot" can listen and/or talk in different languages as well?

[@ChristofferBergquist]

Found this in the Kickstarter page: "To expand LOOI's global reach, expand his entertainment options, and continue to develop his capabilities, we'll add support for more languages, more games, and introduce a developer program for collaborative content creation."

[@josephcorr944]

apple should buy this!

[@BrbDanny]

Reminds me alot of cozmo

[@ArquelCudia_xAMTCx]

Will it work for Samsung Galaxy Fold 4???

[@gamer-yn8vg]

No

[@LamontAdair]

Wen can we buy

[@EricJKuhns]

You can get it through the pre order link in the bio!

A robot named the same as me, damn. I'm no better than a robot 🤖

[@screenplaygrounds]

As cute as the robot in Wall-E 🥲😭

[@jeffwest5783]

Born in 1325 ... maybe the time he was powered up - in military time. 1:25 pm which would be 1325.

[@EricJKuhns]

That’s a good observation! I didn’t even catch that!!

[@_TECH4LIFE]

I think some silicon valley CEO is thinking of buying this tech!

[@nareshsieunarain1011]

Can you send me an emo go home edition please i live in port kiatuma😢❤

[@cesarp6761]

I would love if it could patrol the house and look for somebody in your family or pet

[@flubalubaful]

Agree with everyonecre voice, would be cool if he had z small choice of voices, robot baby , robot teen and robotvadult, then human x3 and fantasy x3, or a modern takenon an animals voice. I imagine letting him be a dog ot cat or even a dragon.. Good ideas if I say so myself, but voice is thecway we communicate and should have been the first thing implemented. I am not really interested in games but if he could be a real companion, remembering interactions like if I asked him to remind me about something he comes back to me and reminds me in his voice. Maybe with a bit of attitude. Saying that personality is so important for little robots, let him evolve and learn everything about me, keep a list and talk about things I like or dislike, let him have his own opinion, but really important is somehow giving him feelings, not real of course, most robots have got the angry faces but where's the shy face when you start him, or the happy face, sad face, concerned face etc.

[@muhammadferdiansaputra9761]

Is this safe? I mean you have to give this little AI machine access to your camera and other things

[@EricJKuhns]

To be honest, anything you give your information to isn’t 100% safe, even if the company does their best to keep your data private since there’s always hacks and things like that. But after working with this company, I do trust them as far as what they handle. Thank you for watching!

[@speakyourmind360]

Looi needs a voice,it needs to able to access and utilize various smart objects.

[@katesmiles4208]

Bot using gender selectable voice rather than text would be a deal maker for me.

[@TodaysThemeIs]

it's supposed to be like Wall-E though and keep it's mouth shut

[@elaluca4823]

Absolutely! It needs to speak! BTW The Chat GPT voices are amazing when it comes to quality and authenticity. Hope Looi will talk like that soon

[@kolbasevitch]

@@elaluca4823 they passed that milestone on kickstarter, so it’s not a question anymore - looi can speak

[@user-hu7fb8ji9d]

I am hesitant on whether I should buy looi or emo, just for ai robot pet

What's missing for sure ... in staid of only responding with text on screen let it talk !

[@nanaakwasiopokuaboagye6751]

I love emo but,I don't have one 🤧

[@MaxSMoke777]

Oh wow, one of the things it lists on the Kickstarter is "Data Security". And it's made in Shenzhen, China. The video I watched *RIGHT* before this was about some computers from Shenzhen. Cheap, cool computers.... preinstalled with a HUGE list of malware, backdoors, and flatout viruses. And now this little robot, from Shenzhen, wants to help you with "Security". Good luck, buddy!

[@X_HHHH]

This is a laughable perspective in such a globalized era😂. At least I've seen an interesting product and an excellent team.

[@Cyba_IT]

The camera hardware in your phone was probably made in Shenzhen and how many selfies have you taken? Going online anywhere is a risk and if you're really worried run a packet sniffer or use industrial strength firewall hardware. People screaming about security and they literally carry a powerful tracker in their pockets. 😂😂😂

[@ScopeProDualMonitor]

Macbooks are also made in Shenzhen

[@wayne8797]

Would be cool if it can learn things about you.

[@RemTilak]

Wait. It doesn't talk? Meh. I'm out.

[@AJB1224]

It will probably get an update for it to have text to speech

[@wolf11]

So they'll send it to you because you're a rich famous KZbinr but they won't send it to me because I died twice and because I told him why I could use a friend and it'd be nice to have. Yeah this world is totally screwed up as it is and backwards and I don't feel that you should got it for free. I feel that you should ought to pay for it just like everybody else. But I guess people like me on disability. We don't matter to the public companies. Don't care about us. We are aunts to a magnifying glass. I would have loved to have this as a friend

[@RealKingFloppa]

Crazy 💀

[@Jayman2800]

Wheelchair user popping in - These are prototypes. They're only giving them away for free to certain people because these models are not what the final project is going to be and they want to see how the public reacts first. It's not a personal attack... EDIT: also, using your disability as leverage to try to get free stuff suggests to me that _you're not a good person_

[@Jayman2800]

Disabled person here: Don't use your disability as leverage to get free shit. Get a plushy if you're that lonely

[@agrove1]

This is a holy joke

[@Jayman2800]

Not sure if my other comment posted, but using your disability to try to get free stuff is not a good look.
