Chatterbots are whimsical, highly stylized companions that hang out on your desktop. There are three distinctively different, collectable designs: The Fairy Godfather, Devil/Angel, and Dog/Cat. Each has its own unique personality, vocabulary, and "signature" animation.

Your chatty compatriots have no shortage of things to say, and know exactly when to say it - or perhaps exactly when they shouldn't! Chatterbot will chime in unpredictably with a stream of jokes, dialog, and plenty of comments about your electronic lifestyle.

They have the ability to "listen" to key words and phrases that you type on your computer, and provide the appropriate hilarious anecdote. Even your emails, calendar events, reminders, and instant messages aren't safe!

You can connect your Chatterbot to either a Mac or PC with the included USB cable. The included software package can be used to customize your Chatterbot (imagine the possibilities!) and to launch your favorite quips on demand.

When you're not enjoying their crazy banter, Chatterbots can be used as a standalone speaker.
