 Alana

A team of British scientists is working on a chatty humanoid robot named Alana that tries to learn users' personalities. In the time of social distancing, Alana could be a great companion, as unlike Alexa and Siri it can hold continuous conversations that too with multiple humans. Leveraging machine learning powers, Alana is an open domain system and can talk about music, movies, pulls data from Wikipedia, and has over 150 news sources.
