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, iâm a bit disappointed at the moment.
First of all, after tons of interactions, my unit is still angry. He wonât respond to âNice to meet youâ and âMy name isâŚâ. 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 app⌠iâm on iOS, btw.
Anyway, the weather is such a disappointment - even at night, heâll show a âsunâ, no actual degrees. Useless, at this point; I hope thereâll be an update to the weather. No date, which also - hopeâll come in one of the next updates. No âPlay by yourselfâ at all. No âLaser eyesâ. Basically, he roams around and says âNo!â And then falls asleep.
I was one of the first backers, even with the Kickstarter and got into arguments with DDL supporters on reddit⌠and shit, iâm still here, disappointed
Iâve read that Alexa and Google will be available at a later date and iâm ok with that, but this lil cute guy is basic af and i canât justify the money spent on it, honestly.
Heâll turn on/off his light and respond to âHelloâ, âGood morningâ and âGood nightâ, but the fact that heâs 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, heâs just a bit smarter than Boxer and thatâs such a shame.
Hear me out - give us more!
Iâve seen the new price for EMO and, honestly, i donât think itâs worth half that much, unless, youâll 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, itâs still early days missing Alexa isnât 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 itâs very sparse and I donât use it much.
I agree, Iâd like to see more voice commands, and more natural interactions with EMO. As I mentioned in another post, I wanna ask âhowâs your batteryâ not âhow is you battery levelâ. But it will come with time.
Well I agree. The biggest problem I see it is not that emo canât 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 âentertainedâ by publishing the plans for the future
100% with you, the fact that he just walk around in circles when you say âmy name isâ and he is always walking around and then he stops facing the wall and fall asleep, and basic command shouldnât 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 donât 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 thatâs disappointing to hear, Iâm waiting for my EMO and basically based on your post all my fears are real, he is boring and thereâs no much to do with him. Iâm also one of the first backers and I was kinda excited to get my own but I donât think Iâm looking forward to get him anymore.
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
Basically, iâll say âEmo!â, heâll respond with his âWhat?â And most of the times, even before iâll ask him something, he starts moving and yells âNo!â Itâs like a horror movie âNo!â, like one of those youtube videos when they use a radio, to make ghosts talk. I mean it
).
still waiting since last year
