Valerie is the most advanced
android in the world having more degrees of freedom than any android
shown up to now. She uses the AT&T speech synthesizer giving the
most human-sounding voice available today. She is also easily
the most anthropomorphic android available. She will have a high
degree of artificial intelligence due to our proprietary AI software -
and a generalized interface to the internet (the only existing
super-intelligence).
***** Note: The initial version
will be English only *****
