6000万用户的情感陪伴APP，营收数亿后做了款家庭机器人｜产品观察

作者 | 黄楠编辑 | 袁斯来在旗下App每年创造数亿元营收、日均百万用户打开量的时候，心言集团创始人兼CEO任永亮做了一个令所有人都觉得“不理性”的决定：把AI情感陪伴能力塞进一个硬件的模具里——造机器人。心言集团最有名的产品叫测测，来自上一个互联网时代，2013年上线，主要为用户提供泛心理科普及测评、在线情感陪伴，拿过腾讯的B轮融资。到2025年，测测已经有6000多万用户。但仅仅靠一款12年的线上情感陪伴产品，显然无法在这个AI时代更进一步。任永亮察觉到线上交互模式存在不可弥补的能力边界。屏幕对话是单向、割裂的沟通形式，难以捕捉物理三维信息，无法满足亲子陪伴、老人情绪安抚、居家
