Social Robots, with David Packman, Co-Founder Packabby Robotics
Welcome to the Pieces AI productivity podcast, where we dig into how experts use AI to be more productive, as well as geeking out in general on different AI topics.
🤖 In todays episode, Jim is joined by David Packman, the co-founder of Packabby robotics, a company that makes social companion robots powered by AI. Jim and David reminisce on Clippy (it looks like you’re writing a letter), and talk about how AI in particular in cute robots provides a much needed social interaction for people on the spectrum who need a way to practise socializing, or for anyone who wants to talk through something with someone who won’t judge.
David also talks about the power of social robots with long-term memory, and how enabling what appears to be simple memories, such as remembering what changes you make to a recipe, can unlock a whole new powerful capability in your robot, just like how the Pieces Long-Term Memory enables a new style of AI prompts to retrieve relevant information for you about your activities.
