The architecture in plain terms
Typically there are four parts: your phone or website, a cloud service running a language model, optional text-to-speech and speech-to-text, and a speaker, either the phone's or one in the doll. When you speak, audio is turned to text, sent to the model, and the reply is generated and spoken back. The doll is a body; the "mind" is software that can change, be updated or be switched off.
What this means for you
| Aspect | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Cloud processing | Conversations leave your device |
| Accounts | Data is tied to an identity |
| Subscriptions | Ongoing cost |
| Updates | Behaviour can change |
| Shutdown | The feature may disappear |
Privacy checklist
- What data is stored and for how long? - Is audio recorded? - Can conversations be deleted? - Is data used to train models? - Where are servers located? See privacy risks and the privacy guide.
Limits of the technology
Language models can sound convincing but can also produce errors, inconsistent persona and unsuitable content. They do not "understand" you. Treat claims of emotional intelligence sceptically.
Where it is going
