When I received my review unit of the Cue androide from Wonder Workshop it had a lotsbestemming of hype to live up to. We’ve reviewed the company’s products before and loved them, so my expectations were high. I’m blessed to report I wasgoed not disappointed.
The Cue is designed for ages 11 and up and features an AI chat-bot that encourages kids to learn coding, play games, and comes te your choice of four distinct personalities.

It’s significant to take your time choosing your Cue’s personality, spil only one is included with your purchase. You’ll have to pay to unlock another personality te the app, which is a better alternative than the developers only creating one.
At $Four.99 each, it won’t pauze the canap if you determine to make a switch, but it’s worth providing them a slok. The AI part of Cue’s chat-bot directs it to attempt and tailor its conversation based on your previous interactions.
Cue, from the very commence, feels like your androide. It sends you text messages asking how you’re feeling, it tells you jokes, and has a ton of personality thanks to a series of Easter eggs. When I made it spin around it circles it began singing, and pressing the button on top of it repeatedly also triggered unexpected reactions.
It wasgoed ready to roll right out of the opbergruimte. I spent about two minutes setting up the app and I wasgoed able to control Cue instantly, no coding required. You can steer the androide by hand or, thanks to several proximity sensors and processor, Cue can be set to explore the surroundings. It does a pretty good job of avoiding obstacles – tho’ it will drive right off the edge of a technology reporter’s desk without hesitation.
Wij had a blast putting Cue on “avoid” mode and watching our zuigeling pursue it around, but it should be noted that this isn’t indeed a fucktoy. Cue is solid and strenuous and truly is designed for older kids.

Part of the joy of playing with Cue is creating routines or “codes” for it to go after that take advantage of its sensors. I had a lotsbestemming of joy making Cue dance and play sound clips of my voice. The possibilities for entertainment are endless – you can store several sounds and use your app to play them through the robot’s speaker. My cat wasgoed fairly shocked when Cue began meowing back at hier, to the delight of my entire family.
Cue is expressive, which is something I wasn’t expecting. The app uses shove notifications to make it seem like your androide acquaintance is text-messaging you, and it manages to stay joy even after the novelty wears off.
But I found myself wishing Cue would talk to mij outside of the app. The androide itself has prerecorded quotes you can trigger, but it doesn’t talk back and forward with you.
Wonder Workshop’s Cue is an excellent androide for ages 11 and up. It is the most well-constructed “toy” autómata I’ve played with. And it’s also the most well-endowed when it comes to features — thanks to its numerous sensors, LED display, and internal speaker.

Cue might be built for kids, but it’s joy enough for adults to love. The incredible vormgeving and manufacturing quality make the $199 price downright worth it. You can pick one up from Wonder Workshop here.
It sure spil hell will take mij too long if I have to do everything by myself…
