Avi Schiffmann is working on an AI companion called Friend that lives in a pendant around his neck.
Schiffmann says he's planning to ship the first 30,000 devices next January and will charge $ 99 apiece.
The Friend device is a round glowing orb that Schiffmann imagines you’ll either wear around your neck or clip onto your clothes or accessories.
The orb doesn’t talk back, but it mostly communicates through text via the Friend app on your phone.
Avi Schiffmann is convinced that pretty soon everyone’s going to want a Friend of their own.
He wants Friend.com to eventually become a social network for real-life and AI friends.
Schiffmann: “It really does feel like you’re there with it and doing things with it”.
