■ What is LOOI?
LOOI is a next-generation AI robot that evolves your smartphone into an emotionally expressive companion simply by attaching it. The moment you set your phone via MagSafe or other methods, 'eyes' appear on the screen, enabling natural dialogue and emotional expression through ChatGPT integration.
Recognizing its surroundings through proprietary sensor technology, LOOI features autonomous movement, fall prevention, and hand gesture control. It also functions as a practical desk assistant with up to 10W wireless charging, behaving like a 'little companion' that brings color to daily life.
1. A Desk Companion with Its Own Will
LOOI reacts optimally to the user's facial expressions and gestures, acting as a 'willful companion' that might make you laugh or sympathize with your troubles. It remembers all conversations and memories, evolving into your best understander as you spend more time together.
2. Understanding Human Hearts and Environments with Advanced AI and Vision
Through integration with the latest AI like ChatGPT, LOOI deeply understands subtle emotions that cannot be put into words by analyzing voice tone and context. Furthermore, its 'eyes'—equipped with advanced Visual Language Models (VLM)—accurately capture changes in user expressions and surrounding situations. It can grasp intent from context even without perfect language, offering natural conversations like talking to a close friend.
3. Stress-Free Desk Experience for Productivity and Refreshment
LOOI supports everything from task management to relaxation with the latest AI. In addition to schedule reminders via calendar integration, it provides instant answers to work-related questions, saving time on searches. It also includes mini-games utilizing the smartphone screen. The fusion of practical secretary functions and a playful spirit updates the desk environment into a smarter, richer space.
