With the first trailer for the Child’s Play remake set to arrive this Friday, Orion Pictures has debuted a viral video under the guise of a ‘Special Announcement’ from the Kaslan Corporation, “the world’s leading developer of interactive tech products”, which sees founder and CEO Henry Kaslan (Tim Matheson) teasing the upcoming unveiling of a brand new “artificial intelligence human companion” – one we suspect is going to malfunction this summer.

KASLAN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HUMAN COMPANION

Los Angeles, CA — February 4, 2019 — Kaslan Corp, the world’s leading developer of interactive tech products for home and lifestyle, is excited to reveal a revolutionary new product – the Artificial Intelligence human companion, Buddi®. A child’s playmate and new best friend, Buddi® will change the lives of everyone in the family in unimaginable ways. Able to connect to and control Kaslan’s wide range of tech products and all smart home devices, Buddi® is the world’s most advanced AI human companion to date and will be available nationwide on June 21, 2019.
Consumers have been living with AI assistants in their homes for nearly eight years with the introduction of Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and other devices. You can ask AI assistants to play a song, provide directions, forecast the weather, turn off your house lights and much more. But to date, a true relationship building opportunity with AI has been outside the bounds of imagination.
Until now.
“The leap we’re making beyond any current AI technology presents a similar gulf between the calculator and the most advanced smartphone assistants. Buddi® is where we’ve all been headed in the field of AI, and I’m proud to say that Kaslan Corporation is bringing that future into the homes of families across the world,” said Henry Kaslan, founder/CEO of Kaslan Corporation.
Buddi® features an exciting range of killer tech and programming, including:
– Highly intricate cloud-backed voice recognition engine capable of identifying speech and comprehension of inflection, tonality and subtle variations in the human voice
– Ability to learn from human interaction and via 20 sensors and cameras that provide real-time information about its environment
– State-of-the-art sensor design providing high resolution image recognition and grip sensitivity
– Preloaded with the ability to comprehend and converse in both English and Spanish, with the option for language expansion via the Kaslan Language Acquisition App
– Connectivity to the latest Kaslan products including the Kaslan HUB home controller, Kaslan VAC robotic vacuum, Kaslan Speakers, Kaslan Drone, the self-driving Kaslan Kar, and other smart home devices
– And so much more!
