There is no warm man to accompany Tanabata? Don't be afraid, Koko makes all voice assistants warmer men!

I told Kik: "I'm a bit panicked. I don't know what to try on tomorrow. I'm too hairy now." After a few seconds, it replied: "It's okay to present you."

I told Kik: "I'll take the test tomorrow. I'm nervous. What do I do? I feel like a pill." It said, "Let me think. "After a few seconds, it answers me:" The test is really easy Tension, but according to a thousand years of research in psychology, proper tension helps to play, this is your body's good response to the exam, so your tension is actually a very good thing.I think you can take tension as your The secret weapon!"

My question is a little bit, but Kik's answer is very warm.

Kik was built by robot startup Koko. Today Koko announced the completion of a $2.5 million Series A round of financing and expanded its business to Facebook Messenger and chat application Telegram. But Koko's ambition goes far beyond that. It also wants all of the chat bots (including Alexa, Siri, and Cortana) to be with you.

Founded at the MIT Media Lab in 2014, Koko started with an inviting social network to rescue depressed people. Users can spit on each other in Koko and warm each other. Koko is the world's first social network to combat depression. After that, Koko successfully entered the iOS system as a stand-alone app, and collaborated with the chat robot Kik to further expand the business.

However, with the expansion of Koko's business, its focus is not only on community training, but also on machine learning capabilities. The algorithm can sort the requests and send them to the most suitable users, which is different from those using the virtual assistant platform Clara. Koko can also identify offensive language and understand how humans talk about sensitive topics. Koko now answers 1,000 questions on Kik every day. Sometimes, in the absence of humans, Kik can replace humans to provide services for users.

Co-founder Fraser Kelton said: "Our goal is to make any voice or information platform have emotions. We think that in this computer era, it is very important for robots to have feelings."

Studies have shown that voice assistants (such as Siri, Cortana, and Google Now) on smartphones can do little to deal with emotional issues. These voice assistants can hardly give you any help when you vent them depressive feelings, seek physical harm, or even harass. What should an emotional chat robot look like? Koko made a brief presentation to the Fastcodesign website and recorded a video, taking Amazon’s Alexa as an example. If you want to see it, please poke here.

In fact, Alexa has a certain emotional ability. When a user is sad, it gives some simple advice, such as listening to music, taking a walk, or talking to a friend. However, when the user is expressing the anxiety of the exam or the loss of the sadness of the lover, its answer is quite weak. However, after integrating Koko's services, Alexa became more personal and more in-depth. It can speak encouraging words and help users to actively look at the problem.

Koko predicts that the Amazon app will be available in six months because it wants to train more robots before the release to allow AI to respond better. However, Koko, originally intended to rescue people suffering from depression, is now facing the public and is somewhat ironic.

At this stage, Koko is still a startup company with only three members. However, with Round A financing, Koko wanted to further expand his business and build a better chat robot system. At the same time, it also knows that sometimes we do not want to be too intimate with the robot, because it means that your personal life in real life is not very satisfactory. Kelton said: "I think that even if they can make an emotional response, we have to consider various minor issues in user experience. And we should also grasp the degree of robot emotion if Alexa expresses emotion immediately. It may also go to the other extreme: vent your dissatisfaction with you."

With the improvement of informationization, the voice assistants such as Cortana, Siri, and Alexa have shared the mission of not only start-up companies such as Koko, but also the missions of other large companies.
