Award-winning app: Neo Talk

Our Winning App: Neo Talk

Our app utilizes the AI character "Neo" to convey a wide range of emotions similar to those of humans, offering communication opportunities for individuals with limited face-to-face interaction. By engaging with AI characters that convey emotions, we aim to assist people in learning communication strategies that foster trust and understanding, including the ability to understand the emotions of others."
