I don't think I really 'get it'. It sounds like a mobile phone for the most part.

It mentioned that it makes seniors living alone more independent. How? Is that just by being a voice activated phone?

It also says that it can proactively help with everyday tasks. What do they mean here? If Jibo can help with the dishes or laundry, sign me up. I don't see how it can though.

Of course, I'm the curmudgeon that doesn't get the fascination with smart phones either
