When studying a foreign language unless you live near where the language is spoken, it's extremely hard to practice. Even online it's hard to find someone who doesn't disappear after the first chat and you almost certainly live in different timezones. It occurred to me how useful it'd be to have a little robot to practice with. Something I could sit on my desk, with a language model, that I could try out conversations with. It'd also be convenient if you're not super confident in the language yet since a robot can't judge. I imagine it would end up as a killer app paired with a robotic bear that children can use. You might even be able to sell to the education sector.
Btw, like others have said, it's a bit creepy looking. I didn't realize someone could make a teddy bear and somehow make it look cold and murderous but bravo. If you're going to make a teddy bear, at least make it look soft and cuddly. And give the eyes some life to them please
