It almost (?) feels like an art project/concept or viral marketing for something else. The FAQs are also wild: “what happens when I break the device? Your friend and its memories are attached to the physical device. If you lose or damage your friend there is no recovery plan.”
It has to be the start of an ecosystem of sorts. That's the only way it makes sense to me. Buy now, benefit later, from Friend(s) - a point I made in my post.
And yes, that specific FAQ is hilarious. What sort of person wants to invest in a device (mostly in talking to yourself, and to it) and build progress when it can so easily be whisked away if it breaks. In time, I imagine they'll offer some sort of "back-up friend" [to cloud" service
