The Loneliness Generation

Unfortunately, it seems that the younger generations are feeling this the most. The study found that Loneliness scores rose among the younger generations, with the youngest generation, Gen Z, feeling the loneliest.

Problem

Pets are always great partner that lightens our life. But having a pet is not easy, which means you need to have a stable place, plenty of time, and enough money for the next 15 years.

Especially for Gen Z, we always can’t have a pet because we are always busy, always move around, and don’t have enough money.

Brainstorm

In the current market, what products could
accompany us in our daily life?
(emotionally / functionally)

Product Research

Can we combine the three products and take their pros to design a new product?

Idea

An ai-robot that could reach you anywhere, help you with your daily life, and be your little friend.

User Scenario

An enjoyable jog always has a dog to accompany by, a device to track your speed, mileage, and a security device to ensure your safety.

It’s always busy when you are making dinner while your friends arrived and ring the doorbell. The kitchen is too loud to hear anything outside.

Hang out with friends and you want to save this memory- take a photo for all of you guys, But there’s always someone who needs to take the picture and not be included in the photo.
