Conversational Toys[edit]
Chatterbots have also been incorporated into devices not primarily meant for computing such as toys.[14]
Hello Barbie is an Internet-connected version of the doll that uses a chatterbot provided by the company ToyTalk,[15] which previously used the Chatterbot for a range of smartphone-based characters for children.[16] These characters' behaviors are constrained by a set of rules that in effect emulate a particular character and produce a storyline.[17] The security exceeds the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.[18]
IBM's Watson computer has been used as the basis for chatterbot-based educational toys for companys such as CogniToys[14] intended to interact with children for educational purposes
