Razer and Lepro announce a desktop hologram AI companion. Razer's version is powered by Grok while Lepro's version is more of a passive device.

A video critique.

 
Razer showed AI headphones too with cameras in them to watch your screen/hands and give feedback. I presume it would integrate with this? Since I wasn't quite understanding how this would capture what you were doing in game to give you feedback.

Supposedly Japan has had something similar for many years though? Just not "AI powered".

I think you are referring to Hatsune Miku. It's more of a singing model than an actual AI. There is a website call character.ai where you could build AI models (sorta creepy). Neuro is an AI but her singing are human tuned as far as I know and her music video are motion captured first.

I don't see how this AI companion can last long especially it need an external system for AI. How much is the subscription for this? From the promo video, they make it sounds like each of the companion is specific to the buyer. So that means individually trained models. If Neuro is any indication of the compute required to have a responsive AI (that can see images, video feeds, and process voice input) then this thing will be expensive to run with subscription fees in the hundreds per month (assuming they want to make money on this but no one in the AI space actually have a revenue model).

Yeah, it was just a comment I read, didn't dig into it much. Something about lonely businessmen in Japan having these sort of digital companions already.

Do you think it needs to be individually trained though? I've noticed using Perplexity Pro for about a month now, it remembers most of what I've told it and uses that as context for related questions. Would you consider that individually trained or simply a profile?

I'm thinking it's likely a combination of both. cataloging it's interactions with you and compiling av profile and responding based on its previous training, which would help it have useful insights when answering your inquiries / prompts.

Hmm if it's some kind of cache system like all the current LLM chatbots, it's possible to be some kind of training data. I'm curious about lag since the time it watch your game actions to providing feedback may take sometime. Now if Microslop could of use Cortina like a real assistant avatar then people may not crap on them as much. How is it an Agentic AI when it just shows you stuff instead of actually executing. Also, I wouldn't give them any access to files, my experience with Goose integration with Google Drive already overwrite stuff because my prompt wasn't explicit enough.
 
I don’t think it needs separate training for every user. It’s probably just one main model with a profile/memory system on top, so it remembers your habits and uses that as context later. That’s way more realistic than training a unique model for everyone.
