Genius builds robot that communicates in GIFs
Sometimes it may feel like only GIFs truly understand you. Well now you can make a bot that will always catch your drift.
A user on Imgur by the name of Shekit, created a custom robot that can respond to your voice with GIFs.
Peeqo, the name of this GIF-tastic bot, is truly a marvelous hybrid of design and code -- and while its inventor writes that creating him was a "complex build," all of Peeqo's materials are easily available online.
In Shekit's words, "Peeqo is a personal desktop robotic assistant who expresses himself through GIFs. Think of him as the love child of Amazon Echo and a Disney character. He has a conversational UI, so he responds to voice commands but answers only through GIFs."
Shekit also shared how Peeqo was created at the bottom of the post, and the official Peeqo site promises the GIF Bot will soon be completely open-source. So by all means make this your DIY for the holidays. Not a bad alternative to the Echo.
