Summary
ElliQ is different in that she intuitively learns users' interests and proactively makes suggestions.
She'll learn her user's routines and preferences and will prompt them to engage in an activity after ElliQ notices inactivity.
ElliQ creates an emotional bond and helps users feel like they aren't alone.
Not only is the user prompting the device, but since the device is a goal-based AI agent wanting to motivate the user to be more connected and engaged in the world around him, she'll proactively initiate interactions that will promote the agent's goals.
A distinct, character-based personality makes an AI agent more fun, intriguing, and approachable, so the user feels much more comfortable opening up and engaging in a two-way exchange of information.
Overall in designing an AI agent, it is very important to create fail and repair mechanisms that will allow the agent to sophisticatedly apologize for disturbing or not understanding.
To increase the feeling of having a machine, ElliQ is designed to not repeat herself but to surprise the users with her interactions.
Users will learn to expect ElliQ to anticipate their needs.
ElliQ won't replace other humans, but she can help evoke similar feelings of companionship and help users not feel so lonely or like they're just talking to a box.
In 2019, Toyota Research Institute selected Intuition Robotics to collaborate on an in-car AI agent.
