iFlytek Input Method team launches AI toy Gununu: it can turn its head proactively and chat with you via a growth system

The iFlytek Input Method team has launched Gununu, an AI toy that supports touch and shake interactions. Its base has a built-in rotating servo, so it proactively turns toward users when they come near. The product uses a growth system: speech and expression abilities are gradually unlocked the more the user interacts with it, and it comes with the NuNu Planet app to record exploration and development. The team says it conducted more than 1,200 person-times of research across more than 12 rounds, developed a separate five-layer memory system for long-term memory, and removed the camera from the final version to protect privacy.
