GROWL reposted this
What happens when your long-term plan turns into short-term execution? We always envisioned GROWL to feel like a human being. To engage and motivate you like a human being, which is where the true magic lies. We never thought that would be possible until many years down the road. But that changed. In the last few months, AI suddenly started to feel more human, more intelligent, more consistent, to the point where we could start to practically envision true human-like companionship. The last few months have been a rollercoaster of prototyping, destroying, prototyping, destroying, again and again… Until we found the right architecture, voice, engagement, feedback. The right sensors for the hardware to unleash the full potential of responsiveness and interactivity. Our team did not waver. They pummeled their way through and built Emma, and here she is. This is still pretty early, she still has a lot to learn, but the outcome is clear: In no time, Emma is going to be able to replicate human-like connection at a level humans can only dream of. And that will be a monumental change in paradigm with how people perceive fitness, wellness, personal training. No longer 1 way and static. Now, fully dynamic, fully interactive and fully personalized to you and your family members. What if we each had the power of a world-class personal trainer, deeply embedded into the home? In the form of a human being, we can interact with, day in and day out.
