Right, so no more TV/Movie themes. But I am going to use yesterday’s Rosie The Robot post as a base for today.
Olly – The First Home Robot with Personality just demolished it’s IndieGoGo goal. And I can see why. It looks awesome. Think Siri or Alexa, but with a unique personality for each user. So you can change the voice, change the attitude, and change how much you want it to initiate interaction with you. It’s got some cool face-reading & emotional tone tech that allows it anticipate how you’re feeling. Yes, that’s creepy, but it’s also insanely awesome.
This is a huge step in AI, and I for one welcome our new robot overlords.
Olly’s site is pretty good. A little jargon-heavy, but in a way that adds credibility. The friendly tone is helpful because it lets me play without constraints. So that’s awesome.

Overall: I like it! Now, admittedly there are a lot of Siri & Alexa comparisons which I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using, but they were still fun to write. I also replaced “personality” with “feelings” for a stretch—and that was a mistake on my part.
Lessons: Yesterday’s Rosie list gave me a good foundation. This post let me play with the theme even more and I pulled out quite a few lines I wish I came up with earlier. It helped to be less restricted today.
- It’s tough to say if I’m overselling the capabilities. I’m not really a tech guy.
- There are several ways to market this. Siri & Alexa play up the cool factor, but there’s also amazing tech behind this, which makes for a great story, depending on your audience.
- This will be a fun to keep an eye on. It’s not tied into the big players, so who knows what will happen
- The price tag is a little too steep for me ($499 USD), but I still want one
