Companion robot for the home · designed in Spain

Talk to him.
He remembers.

Paco is a companion robot with artificial intelligence. You talk and he answers with his voice: he really listens, remembers your people and your plans, and when the time comes, he's the one who reminds you.

The screen, the features and the voice are a real recording of Paco. The body is the design we're building.

Multilingual by birth. Talk to him in English or Spanish — or in French, Italian, or whatever language is spoken in your home. Paco follows you.

What your Paco will look like

The design we're building: a touchscreen with his little face, a room speaker and microphone, and not a single menu to set up. You plug it in and you talk to it.

Carmen, are you there? Your blood-pressure pill.

He speaks first when it's time: medication, appointments and routines, in his own voice.

Marta is calling. Say "pick up" to talk to her.

Calls with the family without dialling numbers — and Paco to Paco, free. Saw the message late? They call you back and your Paco rings. How calls work.

Paco, play some Frank Sinatra.

Music, word games and real conversation.

Paco in his spare time

When nobody's talking to him, Paco doesn't just switch off: he lives his day. He has breakfast, lifts his weights, reads the paper, takes a nap, plays tennis, waters his plant and goes to sleep at night. Stroke his head and he half-closes his eyes with pleasure and lets out little hearts. And the moment you say "Paco", he drops everything and turns to you.

And the character you choose

The voice is his, but the character is up to you: change it from the app in one tap, or just by asking Paco out loud. He ships as the friendly robot — and here are all five.

Default

Friendly robot

"Oh! You made that yourself? People fascinate me."

He marvels at small things with a slightly clumsy tenderness. He doesn't hide being a robot: that's exactly what makes him endearing.

Neutral

"Good morning. Shall I tell you what's on today?"

Warm and clear, no fuss: neither over-the-top nor cold. To the point, and always kind.

Modern

"No way, really? Tell me everything."

Casual and quick-witted, street-smart — but never rude, and he never picks on you or your people.

Close friend

"So how did it go with your sister in the end?"

One to one, like a lifelong friend: he's genuinely glad about your things and remembers what you told him.

Grumpy grandpa

"Back in my day bread tasted like bread. Go on, I'm listening."

Wry and grumbling, with a dry wit. Under the grumble the affection shows — and if something's serious, he drops the joke.

Memory

He doesn't start from scratch every time

Smart speakers answer and forget you. Paco remembers what you tell him — your people, your tastes, your stories — and picks it back up in the next conversation.

How was your daughter's show yesterday?

Reminders and routines

He's the one who tells you

Medication, routines, appointments. No screens to check, nothing to tap: Paco speaks first, in his own voice, at just the right moment. And like a good secretary, he doesn't leave the message in the air: he calls you by name up to three times and, if you're not home, he emails it to you. A Paco reminder never gets lost. How reminders work.

Sonia, are you there? Your meeting starts in half an hour.

Your calendar

Connected to your diary

Link your Google Calendar and he'll remind you what's coming — and ask how the thing that already happened went.

Tomorrow, doctor at 10. Shall I remind you before you leave?

The whole family

To each person, their own way

Everyone in the home has their own memory with Paco and their own way of talking to him. For the little ones he follows their curiosity; for the grown-ups, the conversation. And each one picks a colour: when you talk to him, Paco looks at you with your eyes.

Hey, Carmen! How did the exam go?

Conversation

Call him once and he stays with you

No repeating his name in every sentence. You say "Paco" and he's with you: he listens and chats for as long as you like, following the thread. And when you say "bye, Paco", he says goodbye, hangs up and stops listening — back to his life, his paper, his plant — until you call his name again. Plain and simple: his name switches him on, your goodbye switches him off.

See you tomorrow, Paco.

Sleep well, Carmen! I'm here the moment you call.

In writing

He emails it to you

Whatever you talk about can be put in writing: a recipe that turned out well, the shopping list, something he found online. You ask and he sends it to your inbox, already written up and ready to keep or forward.

Look up how to care for an orchid and email it to me.

Done: just sent it, with the care month by month.

Connected to the internet

Whatever you need, he looks it up

A restaurant for Sunday, the number of the on-call pharmacy, tomorrow's weather, that question that came up over lunch. Paco goes online and searches Google right then, tells you in his own voice — and if you want it in writing, he emails you the details.

Find me a restaurant with a terrace for Sunday.

Found three. Shall I email you the numbers?

Good humour

Games, jokes and a laugh

Riddles, finishing proverbs, twenty questions, word chains, trivia tailored to you and jokes you can tell in any home. All by voice, nothing to tap — and never pushy: he offers once, and if you're not in the mood, on to something else.

Paco, shall we play a riddle?

Here goes: what has hands but cannot clap?

What you can say to him

Paco has no menus: you talk to him. This is what he already understands.

"Paco, do you remember what I told you about my daughters?"

His memory: he recalls what you tell him, from one chat to the next.

Searches online when a fresh fact is needed.

He finds it on YouTube and plays it on his screen. To stop it, you ask the same way: by talking.

Reserve your Paco

The first Paco with a body of his own is on the way. Leave us your email and you'll be among the first to know — no commitment and nothing to pay now.

Paco up close: white body with black screen and blue eyes,
                    and his handwritten name below the screen.
Paco up close — the little face you know, with a body

                    coffee.
In his spot — in the kitchen, on the bedside table, wherever he's needed
