A thought has somewhere to land.
Put a task or a lasting preference into words while it’s on your mind. Bob’s prototype foundation can save each in the right place.
Your day. A little more yours.
The thought you want to keep. The plan you want to make. The next thing you want to do. Say it to Bob, and keep moving.
For you · In development
Device conceptYou have a life. Bob keeps the thread.
Start a conversation at the device at home. Pick it up in Bob’s chat. Your preferences, calendar and tasks give the next conversation somewhere useful to start.
Private agenda · illustrative example
You
“Bob, what have I got on tomorrow?”
Bob
“Coffee with Sam at ten, and the garden plants to pick up at two. Your morning is otherwise clear.”
Your agenda, in one conversation
Less navigating. More living.
You don’t start from scratch.
Relevant memory and conversation history help Bob pick things up. You can review what’s remembered and ask to forget it.
Your hands can stay busy.
A physical voice interface makes help easier to reach while cooking, gardening or doing something more interesting than finding a menu.
Your assistant. Your say.
A useful memory is one you have a say in. Personal conversations belong in a private space; a group conversation uses its own shared context.
- See and remove remembered preferences.
- Keep personal context separate from groups.
- Know which channels are ready and which are planned.
A few good
questions.
Is Bob only for people who need extra help?
Bob is for anyone who wants everyday things to be easier to get done. Older adults, people with limited mobility and busy people all help explain why a conversational interface matters.
Do I have to talk to Bob?
Voice is central to the device experience, and text is another way to continue in Bob’s own chat. External messaging apps and phone calls are planned.
When can I get one?
Bob is in development. The illustrated device is a concept. Pricing and a release date will be announced later.
