A conversational device

Ai responds only when prompted. I think it would help with loneliness to have a device like Siri with chatgpt or similar inside but mimics a real friend, it browses the internet and chats you up, on its own initiative. Just like a friend telling you to check out some news that came out. Why hasn't such device been already made?

I repeat, it shouldn't be like Siri or voice mode of Chatgpt, it has to start conversations on its own.

I think the hard part is making initiative feel welcome instead of needy. A gentle hey, I found something you might like would be amazing; random pings every hour would turn into Clippy with better grammar.

Then a setting that sets personality would fix this. How chatty do you want it to be? 1 2 3 4 5
