Tingo

Developed by Benjamin Seibold, Ian Ngumi, Jonathan Higgins.

A Tingo is a friend on my phone. Similar to a Tamagotchi, I need to take care of it with exercise, meals, and sleep. Tingos do everything with me so if i'm sleeping, then they are too. This encourages me to eat healthy, go to the gym and get enough sleep. Healthy Tingos can level up and get items. Tingos can understand what I say and follow basic instructions using our own speech recognition algorithm. Eventually, Tingos will be able to hold a basic conversation.
