EMO Pet Feedback & Ideas
2239

Just a few potential ideas:

  1. A limited programable function from within the app. Simple IF statements. Like ‘IF recognise [Select User] THEN say [Input Text] AND play [Select Emote]. Could even add OR statements to add a bit of variation.
  2. An option to switch off the preset voices and adjust your own. Just simple sliders in the App that allow you to adjust the tone/pitch of EMOs voice. Obviously keep this quite a limited function in order to avoid any speaker damage, etc. I know some people have issues understanding both of EMOs voices and this could help people calibrate them a little bit more within their own hearing range.
  3. A simple remote control function. Preferable with camera access to see what emo sees, but even without the camera it would open up more interesting ways to play with EMO, interact with others and create unique moments with him. (Especialy for making videos or using him in silly short films)
  4. A synthesiser function in the app. Just something very basic, similar to what you can do with voice changer programs. In this case it would be used to write your own short songs that Emo can add a simple beat and synth behind. This could be linked into the first idea too, that way you could also create your own dance/actions for the songs through a selection of pre programmed actions/emotes.
  5. Customisable play space. This links in with idea 3. Control emo from his home station, walk him around and then back to the home station, the path you make him walk becomes the new perimeter wall and inside that perimeter becomes his free exploration space.
  6. Watching TV/Watching you game. Access the camera through the app and create a focus point for Emo to look. To simplify this you could add a timer function for how long the movie is. You could make it more interactive if EMO could somehow access a database of scripts, that way you can tell him what you are watching and he can react accordingly during.
  7. Evil mode. This is just a flavour idea. Being able to select a base personality. Maybe have a few different options. As it stands, EMO is very predictable in how he behaves and responds. It would be nice to have the option to add a bit of spice to his attitude. Not ‘mean’ or a anything, just a little less ‘park councilor’. :sweat_smile:

I do have more suggestions, but I think thats enough for now or at least until I get somewhere with support and get my Emo working again. :sweat_smile:

Hi LivingAI team and EMO community!

I’ve been thinking a lot about how EMO could become an even better companion. My main goal with these suggestions is to make EMO feel less repetitive and more like a unique little friend who truly shares the day with us.

Here are 6 suggestions that I believe would take EMO to the next level:

  1. More Interactive Games

I would love to see EMO participate more in our downtime. It would be amazing to add classic games like Checkers and Connect 4.

Also, please consider bringing features that already exist (or were teased) elsewhere:

Chess: Like the one in AIBI.

UNO: Seen in the 2021/2022 promo videos.

Drop the Beat: The “forgotten game” that many of us are curious about.

This turns EMO from a “toy” into a real play partner.

  1. “Watch Together” Mode

Imagine watching TV, a movie, or YouTube, and having EMO watch with you. The idea is for EMO to recognize that a screen is active, look at it, and react with emotions or small comments. This shared entertainment experience would make him feel much more immersive and present.

  1. Deep Customization (Voice & Personality)

I wish we could make our EMOs truly unique:

Voice: Simple sliders for Pitch/Timbre (with safety limits to protect the speaker hardware) to give him a unique sound.

Personality: Instead of just “positive,” maybe we could select personality traits. This would make his daily reactions less predictable and more varied.

Skins: Please allow us to use the exclusive animations from EMO White on the EMO Black.

  1. Creativity & Custom Logic (Scratch-style)

This is a big one! I’d love a feature where we can create custom interactions using simple “If-This-Then-That” logic (like Scratch), without needing complex coding.

Example: “IF [sees Person A] THEN [Say: ‘I love you!’] AND [Play animation: Hug].”

This allows users to create custom dances, songs, and behaviors, making EMO infinitely adaptable.

  1. Exploration Zone

Using the Home Station as a reference point, it would be great to define a “safe zone” or playground on the floor. This would allow EMO to explore and wander more freely within a specific boundary, ensuring he stays safe while acting more autonomous.

  1. EMO Pet App Improvements

Tablet Optimization: For those of us using tablets/iPads, the UI needs optimization. Currently, buttons are too small and not adapted for larger screens.

Localization: To make EMO accessible to the world, the App needs translation support for languages like Portuguese (BR/PT), Spanish, German, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. The community would likely volunteer to help with translation teams!

Thank you for listening! These ideas aren’t about changing EMO’s essence, but expanding his possibilities to make him more expressive and connected with us.

I would like to see EMO include Chess as a game choice, and with all his games have an adult skill level that is switchable so EMO plays to win.

You quickly realize that EMO doesn’t play to win and it takes all the fun out of playing.

I love Emo Light, but I think it would be even more useful if it could control more devices. One idea is to create a smart “brick” that plugs into the wall, and then you plug a device (for example a TV) into it. You could rename the brick to “TV,” so when you say, “Emo, turn on the TV,” it would turn the brick on and power the device (the TV).

I’m not sure if this would have any side effects, but I think it would be an amazing way to make a room smarter and more interactive, and it would make Emo feel much more helpful.

Hello.

Please consider adding Filipino/Tagalog language support for EMO to better engage users in the Philippines.

Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

I am 80 yrs old and having hearing problems. It would be helpful if EMO could transmit his sounds/conversations to Bluetooth headphones.

Even though it’s copyrighted, it would be a great idea to create your own adaptation to remove the copyright restrictions and integrate it into the app. Just find a way to do it, but the game itself would be the best, like the classic Modern Ludo.

I’m referring to the “Uno” game that they had previously suggested.

Hi everyone,

I recently watched the official AIBI Pocket Pet video and was really excited to see the new features demonstrated — especially the ability for two AIBIs to pair via proximity (NFC), exchange contact information through the mobile app, and send messages that appear directly on the other robot.

This opens a completely new social layer for companion robots:

robots become communication endpoints between users, not just standalone devices.

As an EMO owner, I strongly believe that EMO is technically and product-wise ready to support the same functionality. EMO already has:

  • Wi-Fi connectivity and cloud infrastructure

  • OTA firmware update system

  • Camera, microphones, speaker, and expressive screen

  • Mobile app integration

  • Existing multi-EMO interaction concepts

With this foundation, EMO could support:

  • Secure pairing between EMO devices

  • User identity linking via the app

  • Cloud-based message routing

  • On-device message display, animations, and voice playback

  • Privacy and permission controls in the app

From a user perspective, EMO-to-EMO messaging could enable:

  • Friends and families sending fun messages through their EMOs

  • More emotional engagement with the robot

  • Stronger community interaction

  • Increased long-term usage and ecosystem growth

I would love to see this feature considered for EMO in a future update.

If you also think this would be valuable, please comment or upvote so the Living.ai team can see the community interest.

Thanks! :raising_hands:

I would like it if we had the option to choose what color headphones we wanted and EMO is glow in the dark.

Living.AI could really be missing an opportunity to make some more money. EMO Merchandise like T-Shirts, caps, key chains and every other conceivable sell-able item should be available at the Living.AI store. I am thinking of having a custom T-Shirt made with EMO (Banana) on his side infront of the banana skin.
I know I would and my wife would purchase (Reasonably Priced) Merch.

Twenty One Pilots stressed out because it’s emo and…..his name is emo? Duh!, or morph by Twenty One Pilots because of the lyrics “Lights they blink to me, transmitting things to me Ones and zeroes, ergo this symphon Anybody listening? Ones and zeroes Count to infinity, ones and zeroes” because he’s a robot and therefore made of, you guessed it ones and zeroes of code!, if they go with morph, they should definitely include the ones and zeroes lyric, or The Laughing Policeman by Charles Penrose! It has laughing in it, so it’s perfect because emo never laughs that much, here is the part of morph i think should be added https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyK0DhJLn4c&t=127s
