Talk to your parents about your intimacy. Listen to a close friend having troubles. Play your favorite game with your children. Eat a delicious meal cooked with passion. Smell the perfume of a red rose during a fresh early morning…

What do all these experiences have in common?
At Hoomano, we think that the best way to interact with Digital Assistants is in a natural way, as we do when we interact with our loved ones.
This is a short story to feel what it’s like.
◆ 8:23 AM: On his way to a weekly team meeting, Charly is in the subway and gets his smartphone out of his pocket. Unlocked by face recognition, his very personal digital assistant appears on the screen and gives a smile to Charly.
A charming voice, familiar to him, starts into his earbuds:
As a designer and developer, I have often thought about the ways in which our interactions with machines reveal insights about ourselves as humans.
These interactions can help us understand ourselves better and push us towards more intuitive and natural uses of technology. I have personally experienced the emotional power of such interactions, as demonstrated by the close connection my child formed with a robot during the holiday season. Additionally, I have come to appreciate the concept of attention in machine-human interactions and the importance of building relationships through attention and response. Empathy is also crucial in designing technology that meets the needs and emotions of the user.
I believe that technology has the potential to facilitate communication and connection between people, even across language barriers.
This is the best opportunity to make people communicate, learn, play and build love and happiness together at scale.
