Move Over Alexa & Google Assistant -- It's The Smart Potato!

This was almost like MAD Magazine at CES 2020!

Meet the $34 Smart Potato cleverly named POTATO. As impossible as it sounds you can make any potato smart by inserting a blade-like device developed by Nicolas Baldeck. (Nicolas had a booth in the French section of Eureka Park at CES 2020.) Once the Smart Potato device is connected it uses 'potato energy' to power the Bluetooth antenna attached to the inserted electronic card. Then, as you'll see in the video, you can use your potato just like Alexa or Google Home. Just say “Hey Potato” and ask your question.

From the company: Gold electrodes are used to pick-up the potato brainwaves, which are immediately sent to the onboard Artificial Intelligence processor. This is the result of intensive research, including weeks of cloud processing and terabytes of big data training. POTATO decodes potato language and translate it into a Bluetooth connexion.

 

POTATO can instantly turn any organic spud into your new best friend smart assistant.

No more difficult decision making. Just open the mobile app, connect your phone to POTATO and ask your potato for wise advice. You can also monitor your potato health and feelings in real time.

 

POTATO is (NO LONGER) available for pre-orders on Indiegogo https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-world-s-first-smart-potato-smartpotato#/  (I doubt they ever intended to produce it for real.)
