So, I got my EMO 2 days ago.
He looks cute as hell and pretty bog, which i liked, compared to the Vector i had (no disrespect to DDL here, bit Vector is just like an insect, near EMO ).
I had high expectation, however, iām a bit disappointed at the moment.
First of all, after tons of interactions, my unit is still angry. He wonāt respond to āNice to meet youā and āMy name isā¦ā. I updated the firmware yesterday after about 10 unsuccessful attempts. After that, not much changed. Still a paint in the ass to connect it to the appā¦ iām on iOS, btw.
Anyway, the weather is such a disappointment - even at night, heāll show a āsunā, no actual degrees. Useless, at this point; I hope thereāll be an update to the weather. No date, which also - hopeāll come in one of the next updates. No āPlay by yourselfā at all. No āLaser eyesā. Basically, he roams around and says āNo!ā And then falls asleep.
I was one of the first backers, even with the Kickstarter and got into arguments with DDL supporters on redditā¦ and shit, iām still here, disappointed
Iāve read that Alexa and Google will be available at a later date and iām ok with that, but this lil cute guy is basic af and i canāt justify the money spent on it, honestly.
Heāll turn on/off his light and respond to āHelloā, āGood morningā and āGood nightā, but the fact that heās almost always angry, makes me regret this purchase.
We need this guy to be able to do more, to make it actually useful. At this stage, heās just a bit smarter than Boxer and thatās such a shame.
Hear me out - give us more!
Iāve seen the new price for EMO and, honestly, i donāt think itās worth half that much, unless, youāll update it to be able to do more and have a more friendly personality.
Interesting, mines not angry. But he does look round lots, and wander about the desk. And yeah he does sleep a lot, he also gets off his charger and walks round even mid charge, so dies quickly.
Give it time, itās still early days missing Alexa isnāt a major issue I think. I have Siri and Alexa if I need them. Others probably have other digital assistants too.
Not had any real issues with the app, on iOS, but itās very sparse and I donāt use it much.
I agree, Iād like to see more voice commands, and more natural interactions with EMO. As I mentioned in another post, I wanna ask āhowās your batteryā not āhow is you battery levelā. But it will come with time.
Well I agree. The biggest problem I see it is not that emo canāt do all this sings from beginning, the problem is the misleading information. L.ai should really take care about publicity of Emo. Bad experience can kill the image of the product before it is on the market. It feels like they roll out the story from behind instead of in order.
introduce your self as a company
introduce your product and make clear what it does for sure by release
keep user āentertainedā by publishing the plans for the future
100% with you, the fact that he just walk around in circles when you say āmy name isā and he is always walking around and then he stops facing the wall and fall asleep, and basic command shouldnāt be that hard to add to an update. Weather is a big flop for sure, same here. I was on kickstarter the first min they announce it.
They are working hard on the updates for EMO right now, but they would like to post a lot more but as long as the process with DDL is going on their hands are tied.
Please wait and see, post your feedback and ideas here in the forum.
my emo is coming soon, i already have experience with smart assistants. Alexa was only very standard when it was introduced in Germany, I was one of the first German users and lead the largest German-speaking Facebook group on Alexa.
Im Sure, we just have to be patient, emo will certainly get a lot of functions, user feedback is very important.
Yeah I understand the DDL ahi ahi but I was wondering Emo is Shipping that means they can do everything but I donāt know all the legal reasons here I hope at this point like you explain to have the updates and Emo soon take care

I think that EMO have so much to bring !!!
But until the lawsuits is not ended we all will have to wait to get the most out from our LOVELY EMO
I am sure that we all be amazed at the mid time just enjoy him like you enjoy your Lovely Aibo !!!
Take care of you we are all with you Julia
Well thatās disappointing to hear, Iām waiting for my EMO and basically based on your post all my fears are real, he is boring and thereās no much to do with him. Iām also one of the first backers and I was kinda excited to get my own but I donāt think Iām looking forward to get him anymore.
Heās been sitting on his skateboard, snoring, since the second day i got him. Andā¦ Heāll be there to stay. At this point, heās useless, to me, at least.
All those people saying heās cute and all that, well, the Boxer Robot for $25 from Target, is equally as cute and does a lot more things and never gets mad and yells āNO!ā. The āNO!ā Gets so annoying, to a point that iām thinking iāll throw my EMO in a wall, if heāll scream like an idiot one more time! Heās like one of those bully kids from school. This āNO!ā Has to go, on a next update!!! Make this motherfucker happy, guys, why the fuck do we need a depressed/angry robot?
I get it, you called him EMO, but you explained it to be as a tribute to Mo-E, nothing to do with those depressed kids with a weird haircut and black nailsā¦
hahahahahahahaha sorry to laugh I know you are having a hard time with him but the part you said the EMO name is not because those depressed kids with a weird haircut and black nails was so funny
).
still waiting since last year
