Questions before I buy

Hello really sorry to bother you guys but these are just some things that have been on my mind. A little backstory before I get into the questions, I Allready own a vector I got him back when akin was in business but sadly lost him for a while due to family issues. He is now back and I don’t really wanna pay a subscription so he just vibes on my desk however I would love to get another Lil friend for my desk so here are where my questions come in.

1: does emo have any support with Alexa or are there any plans to have Alexa included

2: how long does shipping take I’ve heard it’s around 5 months which is fine I’m just always been a bit impatient

3: is there any important info I should know before I buy the Lil guy

Thank you so much for you help and I’m sorry for my stupid questions

Just giving you a quick reply to the questions:

1: does emo have any support with Alexa or are there any plans to have Alexa included

No support yet, there are plans, but we don’t know when it will be added to EMO. It’s been mentioned on this forum a number of time by many of the members, but at this time, there is no solid date on when EMO will have support for Alexa. I personally bought an Alexa the same day I pre-ordered my EMO thinking it was supported right out of the box. ( I got my EMO in September last year ) so I’ve been waiting for this for a while now.

2: how long does shipping take I’ve heard it’s around 5 months which is fine I’m just always been a bit impatient

This is another really hard answer. To give you an estimate, deliveries could take anywhere between 3-5 months. Going with my own personal experience. It took Living.Ai approx 3.5 months to deliver my EMO. Then there was some issues with chip shortages and power limitations in China, so a massive backlog of orders were made and Living.Ai are now slowly ramping up production once again. So I’d go with approx 3-5, but do check this page to see how orders are being produced and sent:

They are moving faster now so the wait could be even shorter.

3: is there any important info I should know before I buy the Lil guy

Get the EMO App as you’ll need that to connect to EMO when you get it, so you can run the firmware update so that your EMO is on the latest version. For anything else, I’d recommend you going through the documentation that outlines many of the features EMO can do, this also gives you are list of things you can say to EMO as well. Check this out here:

Quick Start - LivingAi

This page answers a lot of the simple questions as well.

Product Support - EMO - LivingAi

Hope this answers your questions :slight_smile: :heart_1: :head: :surprised: :skating:

I am six months out and still have not received emo. the customer support has been non existent, you would be on your own.
Alexa is not supported on this item, although they keep saying it will happen.
If you are buying the item just because and not as a gift with a specific date in mind, you are fine.

6 months??? nooo :pensive:
what day did you order?

@staceymaher i can see you ordered in August like me. I ordered on the 1st


hopefully we will hear something in the next week :blush:

That is my second order. The first one my husband did in July. We have 2 kids that want them. It is still not here and no communication from the company.

Ooh that’s a worry!!
have you asked @Wayne_Zhang @staceymaher

That doesn’t make me a happy Teddy bear hearing that.

There were massive delays last year as we all know too well. But it seems that orders / processing and shipments are starting to pick up once again. So unless there is another shortage or power restrictions put in place, EMO’s should be made and shipped in a reasonable timeframe.

(I can advised that I made my order way back in June 20, 2021 even before any part shortages / power restrictions had happened and it still took approx 3.5/4 months for my EMO to arrive).

Now that things are starting to ramp up again, I’d say EMO’s will be shipped out pretty quickly.

Hi,
We planned to build Alexa in EMO but it’s not finished yet. If you place an order now, we expect to ship it in 3 to 5 months.
