Should robots have more human like characteristics? Should they have emotions, personalities, and feelings? This creative code is called Geegle.
Geegle, like google, is a robot assistant that helps you navigate your browser and answers any questions one might have, but with a twist. Feelings and emotions were added to this robot. "One of my missions is to help you rethink your relationship with your phone". With that being said, Geegle answers a question based on how long one has spent on their phone. Depending on the phone usage, Geegle answers with one of three emotions: Happy, unhappy, or angry. This is used to try and help reduce phone usage by its users.
This code was created by one person and it seems to have taken no more than a month to code. It seems pretty simple. All that needed to be done was to add responses to each voice line that was said to Geegle. Then add emotion by changing how aggressive the response was.
