Friend relaunches AI pendant with talking speaker at double the price
Friend has launched a new AI pendant device, doubling its previous price and incorporating a talking speaker. The product aims to offer AI-driven companionship and conversational support.
AI companionship company Friend has introduced an updated version of its AI pendant. The new device, named "Friend," is priced at twice the cost of its predecessor and now features an integrated speaker enabling two-way spoken communication.
The pendant allows users to discuss personal life issues with the AI. Previously, the Friend pendant communicated solely through text messages, but the updated model can now also speak back to the user.
Friend previously gained attention for its aggressive advertising campaigns in the New York City subway system and a substantial investment in the domain friend.com. The company's objective is to provide AI-powered companionship and support.
Specifics regarding the pricing of the new "Friend" pendant and its full feature set have not yet been fully disclosed, but the user experience is anticipated to be significantly different.
The company has not publicly commented on sales figures or user feedback from its prior releases.
