Would You Use an AI Robot Companion?

Hi everyone
I wanted to share a project we’ve been working on: AI Companion.
It’s a concept-stage robot designed to give an AI system a physical presence through voice, vision, movement, an expressive screen face, and sensor-based interaction.
The idea is simple:
the AI is the brain
the robot is the body
We’ve just launched the first public page: https://airobotcompanion.vercel.app/
We’re still at an early stage, and I’d really appreciate feedback, especially on one key question:
What would make a robot like this genuinely useful in the real world, rather than just interesting?
Any thoughts on practical use cases, features, or improvements are very welcome. Thanks!
