Max Giammario "We're not just building an assistant—we're creating artificial life that you actually want to talk to." — Max Giammario, CEO, Kindred Labs In one of the most thought-provoking episodes of Technology Reseller News, publisher Doug Green sat down with Max Giammario, CEO of Kindred Labs, to discuss a new frontier in AI: emotionally intelligent, pop-culture-powered digital companions. Forget impersonal chatbots or disjointed AI assistants. Kindred Labs is blending beloved characters like Hello Kitty, Teletubbies, and Pudgy Penguins with advanced agentic AI to create immersive, emotionally resonant digital experiences. The goal? A future where your most trusted companion might be a personality you already know and love. Artificial Life Meets Emotional Intelligence Giammario's research centers on artificial life and emotional connection. Kindred is the result of that work, delivering companions that don't just complete tasks—they live across your devices, follow your routines, and grow with you over time. "Imagine a character like Hello Kitty or a K-pop idol expressed as your AI assistant," said Giammario. "It's Clippy reimagined for the AI era, but now it's someone you love waking you up, organizing your day, tracking your portfolio, and cheering you on during your workout." That vision isn't hypothetical. Kindred already has over 100,000 active users, and many of them spend more than six hours a day interacting with their AI companions. These are cross-platform personalities, jumping from mobile to laptop to smartwatch, offering contextually relevant help with a smile, a joke, or a familiar catchphrase. Trust, Familiarity, and Emotional Loyalty One of Kindred's key innovations is in overcoming what Giammario calls the "AI trust gap." "Most people are hesitant to allow AI that level of access to their life. But when it comes wrapped in a character you know—one you already trust—you drop your guard. That's the magic." Kindred isn't just function-first. In fact, its entire model is based on emotional connection. Users don't just use Kindred because it works. They use it because they love the character. "If we just built a better assistant, we'd be in a race to the bottom," Giammario explained. "But if you love your Bugs Bunny, you'll stick with it. That loyalty is what lets us deliver more functionality, not the other way around." A Single Interface Across Everything The implications for enterprise and commercial applications are vast. Instead of bouncing between disconnected bots, imagine a single consistent AI companion interface across every website and interaction. "Chatbots are fragmented," said Giammario. "But your Kindred character can follow you across every business, every device, and every platform—always learning, always adapting." In the workplace, that might look like a familiar avatar giving you a morning briefing, syncing your calendar, prompting reminders, and surfacing insights from your CRM. In retail, it could mean brand mascots that act as informed, AI-powered shopping concierges. From Fiction to Reality Giammario admits that this shift can feel surreal—even science fiction. But it's already happening. "We're crossing a line from tools into relationships," said Green. "From functionality into feeling." And it's not just about novelty. The mental health benefits, the engagement rates, and the potential for radically new forms of interaction are all on the table.

Kindred is turning the characters you grew up with into the digital friends you take into the future. The question now is: Are you ready to meet your AI best friend?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept—it's here, and its transforming industries, investments, and daily life. Despite the advantages in processing and productivity, many still have concerns about using AI in their everyday lives at home and in business. This begs the question: Should AI be something we fear, or is it just new technology that we should embrace? Here to help answer those questions is Jay Jacobs. Jay is BlackRock's Head of Thematic and Active ETFs, where he oversees the overall product strategy, thought leadership, and client engagement for the firm's thematic and active ETF businesses. We're thrilled to tap into his expertise to break down the evolution of AI and LLMs (Large Language Models), how it's impacting the investment landscape, and what the future looks like in the AI and digital world. In our conversation, we discussed the rapid development of artificial intelligence and its potential to revolutionize sectors like finance, healthcare, and even customer service. You'll also hear Jay describe how AI has evolved into a race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), its ability to increase our productivity on a personal level, and whether the fears surrounding AI's risks are warranted. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How AI has evolved from Clippy in Microsoft Word to ChatGPT and other LLMs. Why research and investing in AI is accelerating and what's fueling its rapid growth. Why access to data, computing power, and infrastructure are the new competitive advantages in the AI arms race. How businesses are leveraging AI to boost efficiency and customer service. The race to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)—what it means and how close we really are. How synthetic data and virtual environments are shaping the next frontier of AI development Want the Full Show Notes?

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we discuss the big real estate technology news of the week: Rocket Companies, the mortgage, real estate and personal finance giant, is buying Redfin, the Seattle-based tech-powered real estate company that has been a longtime disrupter in the world of buying and selling homes. Joining us to assess the implications are Stephanie Reid-Simons, who oversees the news team at RealEstateNews.com as a senior vice president with the news site; and Tim Ellis, a former Redfin market analyst who's a podcaster and blogger, and a veteran of Seattle-area startups including Porch, Moz, and Glowforge. Also on the show: Microsoft brings its Copilot AI technology to gaming, but can Microsoft prove this is more than Xbox meets Clippy? We’ll consider that question in the final segment with Thomas Wilde, an independent video-game journalist and editor who writes about games for GeekWire, Hard Drive, and other publications. Join us at Microsoft@50 at Town Hall Seattle this Thursday, March 20. With GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Techdirt has finally accepted the inevitable and gone full democracy blog—because let's face it, politics and tech are now the same dumpster fire. Google rolled out AI Mode for Search, proving once again that the internet is just Clippy with better branding. Meanwhile, Billy McFarland insists Fyre Festival 2 is totally happening, despite Mexican officials pointing out that his coordinates literally lead to the ocean. Speaking of fraud, Tesla sales are in freefall thanks to Elon's alt-right cosplay, and people are setting Teslas on fire in protest. And in rich-guy disconnect news, Google's Sergey Brin thinks engineers should work 60-hour weeks to build the AI that will replace them. That's some late-stage capitalism poetry right there.Elsewhere, Trump Media paid Don Jr. nearly a quarter of its revenue to show up twice, while indie musicians can't afford to tour, proving once again that grifting is more profitable than making art. Technicolor shut down overnight, stranding 10,000 workers because Hollywood's financial planning is apparently as stable as a Starship rocket launch. Oh yeah, SpaceX exploded another one.Meanwhile, Netflix's attempt to upscale A Different World turned it into a Lovecraftian horror show. A quarter of Y Combinator startups now run on “vibe coding,” meaning their software is basically a Ouija board with extra steps. The AI takeover continues as OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 monthly for specialized AI "agents," proving once again that the revolution will be monetized. Meanwhile, Moscow's Pravda network has been poisoning Western AI chatbots with Russian propaganda, because if you can't convince humans, just brainwash the robots that humans increasingly trust.On the bright side, hackers brought the Humane AI Pin back to life after it was bricked, transforming an overpriced paperweight into... a slightly less useless overpriced paperweight. ChatGPT can now directly edit code in macOS development tools, making it easier for AI to introduce bugs you never would have thought of yourself. Over At the Library, check out "The Tempest" by Peter Cawdron for your first contact fix, and if you're worried about where society is heading (and who isn't?), Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny" offers a survival guide for our slow-motion constitutional collapse. Finally, in "everything is fine" news, 82% of indie artists can't afford to tour anymore.Enjoy the dystopia, kids – at least we still have our sense of humor.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

The Vat Spawn watch the Goblin King polymorph the missing Ariana from a beautiful pop star into a grotesque goblin. A hundred goblins cheer him on as the transformation occurs. “Goblins is people?” Dragon Warrior queried. Bat Alchemist lights a joint from the demon dog's fire breath to regain his lost health. Then he reverse engineered Warlock Roc's listening device to play Enrique Iglesias through the tone-stone walls, causing them to gather in one area for a makeshift dance party. Turns out goblins are obsessed with Enrique Iglesias. Tiger Wizard takes advantage of the distracting dance party, springs through the door, and casts Nitar's Fireball, serving a dish of fiery destruction. The Goblin King breathes fire from the demonic face in the center of his torso, but Tiger Wizard and Bat Alchemist move out of the way. The goblins swarm the Vat Spawn as they fight-dance to Enrique Iglesias.Dragon Warrior sits atop the demon dog Lotto and charges into the room. Lotto breathes fire into the goblin horde as Dragon Warrior swan dives into the goblins as he casts Pognif Explosion exploding himself and a single goblin to bits… and then he reforms.Bat Alchemist uses his soulbound weapon Clippy's ability to hit multiple targets. In return for his services, Clippy demands to be of assistance immediately and makes Bat Alchemist do calisthenics to get better at attacking.Tiger Wizard dances through the goblin horde to whiff hitting the Goblin King, and notices that he's wearing a wooden mask. Warlock Roc attempts to sneak away, but trips on her high heels into the goblin horde. Dragon Warrior wades through the gobs to give Warlock Roc a healing potion, which brought her back to full power and made her glow pink.The Goblin King grabs Tiger Wizard and begins polymorphing him into a goblin.

I can't believe we missed out on the most important PlayStation Pro news when we talked about it a couple weeks ago.  Yes, your long nightmare of dealing with disorganized lose paper is over: Sony has created a solution and it only costs $1000.  But hurry: there's only 12,300 in existence, so act quickly or else you'll have to go crawling back to Clippy.  We dig into this as well as more stories on Professor Layton, Microsoft R&D, and Nintendo's secret police this week.

In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer delves into Mary Meeker's latest report from Bond Capital, "AI and Universities: Will Masters of Learning Master New Learnings?" Palmer examines Meeker's insights on global market capitalization leaders, the accelerating adoption of digital platforms, and the U.S.'s dominance in machine learning models and AI investment in industry. He explores trends in education technology, student debt, and international academic performance rankings. Mike also discusses three emerging trends discovered in parallel with Meeker's latest report: the Gen AI hype cycle reaching its peak, post-secondary disruption, and the importance of durable skills to battle AI fatigue and Clippy's Revenge. Key takeaways: U.S. technology companies lead in global market capitalization. AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, with ChatGPT reaching 100 million users in record time. Higher education faces challenges in keeping pace with industry innovation in AI. Palmer concludes by inviting listeners to share their thoughts on future topics and encourages engagement with the show. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Clippy. Ask Jeeves. MSN Butterfly. You've Got Mail. Feeling old yet? Don't be a Sad Mac. The Listen & Learn or Not hosts are just dipping into a Hot Tub Time Machine as they talk about virtual assistants and services they used in the 90s because...why not? Speaking of vintage, this episode was recorded mere hours prior to a highly anticipated debate between two very....uh...seasoned presidential candidates on 6/27. As the podcast hosts unpack their worries and concerns about how the seniors might perform on the debate stage, or afterwards, you may find this episode to be prophetic. Or poetic. Or wish one candidate was more energetic. Or wish the fact-checking afterwards didn't make one look pathetic. Or wish we could use the Hot Tub Time Machine to go back and pick people from both parties more athletic. Ok, alright. You get it. Or not.

I'm thrilled to welcome Jeff Sieh back to the show for an in-depth discussion about the evolution of AI, particularly focusing on Apple's recent announcements. Jeff and I dive into the historical context of AI, reminiscing about its portrayal in popular culture and significant milestones like IBM's Deep Blue and Microsoft's Clippy. We then transition to exploring the exciting developments unveiled at Apple's WWDC 2024, particularly the introduction of Apple Intelligence. This new system promises to revolutionize how we interact with our devices by integrating AI with personal context while maintaining a strong emphasis on privacy. Our conversation highlights the practical implications of Apple Intelligence, such as seamless integration across apps, intelligent task automation, and improved personalization. We share our thoughts about features like the new Siri capabilities, which now offer deeper system integration and better language understanding, making it more conversational and useful. Jeff also discusses how these advancements can enhance creative workflows, such as using AI for video editing and content creation. We wrap up by contemplating the future possibilities of AI in everyday life and how these tools can help us focus more on creative and meaningful work while automating routine tasks.

Mike Palmer takes us on a whirlwind tour through the recent ASU+GSV Summit and AIR Show in San Diego. We hear the buzzing energy of the events as Mike shares his hot takes and insider scoops fresh off the ground. The AI Revolution Show provided an intriguing glimpse into the new AI-powered products aiming to "supercharge" teachers' capabilities. Mike lauds the vision of positioning AI not as a replacement but as an empowering force operating "behind the teachers" to enhance their impact. As Mike tours the exhibitor floor, we get the inside scoop on promising platforms like Kyron Learning, and Atypical AI - all striving to bolster teachers with smart content creation tools, personalized instruction, and data-driven insights. The conference wasn't just about tech though - we hear tales of surprise mascot appearances earning the moniker "Clippy's Revenge." Mike ponders finding the right balance between injecting narrative whimsy while ensuring the human touch remains central. Shifting to the main ASU+GSV event, we're treated to thought-provoking conversations around higher education's mounting challenges - from the looming "enrollment cliff" to concerns over cost and completion rates. Could partnerships harnessing AI provide a way to improve access and student success? In a live recorded happy hour interview, we hear directly Paul Gollash from ETS and Dana Bryson from Study.com as they announce an exciting free AI-powered PRAXIS prep offering to support aspiring teachers, especially from underrepresented backgrounds. Throughout the whirlwind episode, Mike's authentic voice shines through - blending expert analysis with relatable humor and insights gleaned from walking the streets of San Diego. We close on an upbeat note, with Mike feeling newly inspired to dig deeper into the future of education and work through his growing slate of podcasts including EdHeads and The Cusp with Paul Fain.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/08/2024): 3:05pm- Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spent several days in an intensive care unit at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland following elective surgery—though the precise surgery has not been disclosed. Alarmingly, the White House—including President Joe Biden—was not informed of Secretary Austin's incapacitation for more than three days. Equally concerning, while Secretary Austin was in intensive care, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Will anyone be held accountable for this disastrous breakdown in communication? Secretary Austin released a statement on Saturday addressing the issue: “I am very glad to be on the mend and look forward to returning to the Pentagon soon. I also understand the media concerns about transparency and I recognize I could have done a better job ensuring the public was appropriately informed. I commit to doing better.”  3:30pm- While appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said it should be up to the states to determine whether or not Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appears on primary ballots. 3:35pm- While speaking with Symone Sanders on MSNBC, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said states should take “very aggressive action” to keep Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump off their ballot. 3:40pm- #1 Global Best-Selling Author Terry Hayes joins The Rich Zeoli Show to announce he'll be participating in a 1210 WPHT Speaker Series event on February 7th at Rosemont College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Hayes is the author of the new book, “The Year of the Locust”—and has won numerous awards for his work as an author and film producer. His credits include I Am Pilgrim, Payback, Road Warrior, Mad Max, and Dead Calm—and has worked with Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp, and Nicole Kidman. For event and ticket information visit: https://www.audacy.com/1210wpht/events/terry-hayes-with-special-guest-host-rich-zeoli 4:05pm- The National Park Service has announced its plan to remove the William Penn statue from Welcome Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—citing a desire to be more inclusive and an “expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia.” Welcome Park is, of course, named after the ship which carried Penn to Philadelphia in 1682 and his statue currently marks the location of his home. The National Park Service is currently seeking commentary on its decision to redesign Welcome Park—including the removal of Penn's statue. You can leave your comments here: https://parkplanning.nps.gov 4:30pm- Rich refuses to watch movies with subtitles, Matt believes “The Holdovers” starring Paul Giamatti was the best picture of 2023, and is Microsoft's Clippy male or female?   5:05pm- In a new editorial for Reason, Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott argue that universities are now using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statements to “enforce group think” on campuses. They write: “Yoel Inbar must not be allowed to teach psychology at UCLA—or so a student petition informed the California university's administration this past July. Inbar is an eminent, influential, and highly cited researcher with a Ph.D. in social psychology from Cornell University. There is no question that he is qualified. Anyone worth their salt doing work on political polarization knows Inbar's name. Inbar also jumped through all the hoops UCLA put up for the job, including submitting a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statement, which is currently all the rage in colleges and universities. He even shares the politics of the majority of the psychology department. But on his podcast, Inbar had expressed relatively mild concerns over the ideological pressures that DEI statements impose and wondered aloud whether they do harm to diversity of thought. As a result of this petition—signed by only 66 students—UCLA did not hire Inbar. And he's not the only academic this has happened to. Far from it.” You can read the full editorial here: https://reason.com/2024/01/06/the-conformity-gauntlet/ 5:20pm- A brief debate on deontological ethics. Would Immanuel Kant agree that it is ok to lie if a woman asks you, “does this dress make me look fat?” 5:25pm- On Monday, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Dr. Anthony Fauci testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. PLUS, Howard Stern tells his audience that he finally contracted Covid. Now that he has immunity, will he continue to avoid society? 5:40pm- While appearing on State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said “I'm not worried, I'm very concerned” about President Joe Biden having underwhelming support from Black voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election. 5:50pm- Tyler Pager of The Washington Post writes: “Former president Barack Obama has raised questions about the structure of President Biden's reelection campaign, discussing the matter directly with Biden and telling the president's aides and allies the campaign needs to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them with the White House, according to three people familiar with the conversations.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/06/obama-biden-meeting-campaign-2024/ 5:55pm- Is Transylvania a real place? 6:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss The National Park Service's bizarre decision to remove William Penn's statue from Welcome Park in Philadelphia, PA as part of an effort to better promote “inclusivity.” Dr. Coates is the author of “David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213 6:30pm- #1 Global Best-Selling Author Terry Hayes joins The Rich Zeoli Show to announce he'll be participating in a 1210 WPHT Speaker Series event on February 7th at Rosemont College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
