Companion robot for the home · designed in Spain
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.
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.
Marta is calling. Say "pick up" to talk to her.
Paco, play some Frank Sinatra.

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.
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.
"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."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."No way, really? Tell me everything."
Casual and quick-witted, street-smart — but never rude, and he never picks on you or your people."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."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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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."What will the weather be like tomorrow in Bilbao?"
Searches online when a fresh fact is needed."Help me think this through"
Real conversation: he listens, digs deeper and contributes."Remind me to call the doctor tomorrow at ten"
Create the reminder by voice, no panel needed — and Paco will say it in his voice when the time comes."What do I have this week?" — with your Google Calendar
He reminds you what's coming, warns you before each appointment and even adds new ones by voice."Play some music from the sixties"
He finds it on YouTube and plays it on his screen. To stop it, you ask the same way: by talking."Find me a restaurant for Sunday"
He searches Google for whatever you ask — places, numbers, questions — and emails you the details if you want them."Tell me a joke" — plus riddles, proverbs, trivia…
The fun side: word games and good humour, all by voice."Email me what we just talked about"
Summaries, recipes, lists or anything he found online: sent to your inbox, written up."Give me a shout in twelve minutes, I've got the oven on"
The kitchen timer, hands free — no phone to hunt for."Tell me a story"
He knows stories, tales and poems, and tells them unhurried."Jot this down: …" — notes and lists by voice
Shopping list, ideas, errands: they stay in your panel, and you can ask for them back ("what have I got written down?").Two real conversations with Paco, recorded straight from his own screen. Tap play and watch him work.

Paco never pretends to be a person: he tells you himself that he's an artificial intelligence. His memory lives in your home, inside him — online there's only a copy for you to see from your phone. And he'll never use affection to sell you anything.
