She watches a laptop screen, where an image of poiq slides around on a webpage.

“Through our development program poiq is starting to have conversations with people.”

“While we see poiq’s conversation skills improve every time it interacts with people, it can also start speaking randomly about a topic with a tremendous amount of information, which can spark great conversation.”

poiq stands on a table and we cut to different conversations it has had.

poiq
“Watching anime is so fun. Pork katsu curry is a classic. I love salt seasoned ramen!”

MIKA
“When poiq expand its knowledge its level of conversation also changes. Our users love it when poiq eagerly shows off its new expertise.”

poiq’s eyes glow.

poiq
“Let’s talk again soon!”

Text appears within two dark blue circles over a teal background.
