A Social AI Robot – A True Companion, Not Just an Assistant

ChatGPT Feature requests

The market is full of educational and smart assistant robots, but what we’re missing is a true social AI robot—a friend that can walk with us, discuss ideas, and simply be there when life gets busy.

I don’t need a robot because I’m lonely, but because people are busy. A social AI companion that exists 24/7, just like ChatGPT but in a physical form, would be a game-changer.

What This Robot Should Be Capable Of:

•	Engaging conversations: Like GPT-4, but with memory and personality adaptation.
•	Mobility: Walk with me, move around the house, and feel present.
•	Emotional intelligence: Understand mood, offer support, and adapt tone.
•	Autonomy: Not just a tool I have to command but a companion that initiates interaction.
•	Customizability: Let me shape its personality, voice, and behavior over time.

There are many educational and commercial robots, but no true social AI companion that can integrate seamlessly into daily life.

Can OpenAI explore this space? AI is advancing fast, and the demand for AI-driven companionship is growing. A fully autonomous social robot could be the next big leap in AI-human interaction.

What do you think? Would you want a robot friend like this?

So I don’t want a friend, I want a partner. Many people are lonely, too many people all over the world. It’s no coincidence that some people think that the next generation of children will be born in virtual space. “tamagochi kids” phenomenon. So too many divorced, traumatized, sad, lonely people… So globally, all ages, regardless of gender. We need companion “robots” but not cheap looking sxdolls but real looking female and male humanoid androids so that there are not so many lonely people in the world and who with all the advanced levels of AI are like us humans.
