ABOUT YOUR BUDDY
Part Machine, Part Flesh
The HomeBuddy features a machinic base that responds to your individual needs. From this base, our BetterFlesh Technology™ grows, creating a tactile surface that mimics humans touch and provides comfort and familiarity in this age of contactless connection.
A Symbiotic Relationship
The HomeBuddy learns, and grows, with you. Upon purchasing your HomeBuddy, take the Familiarity Quiz to teach your Buddy all about what makes you unique, from your food preferences to your daily habits and more. As the Buddy lives and interacts with you, it will learn more about your habits and become better able to adapt to your needs.
Tailored To You
Customize your model to fit your individual needs. Choose from a variety of personalization options, from color, to scent, to texture, and more! For an additional cost, you further tailor your base model through our Cherished Memories program. Simply send a DNA sample of a loved one to Cytex Labs, and your HomeBuddy will come equipped with their unique features.
An Easygoing Companion
The HomeBuddy is easy to maintain and upgrade. Simply nourish it with our patented Feed Solution Flakes once a day, and watch as your Buddy grows news cells and sheds old ones - just like actual flesh! To upgrade your Buddy, simply purchase your preferred add-on(s) in our shop. We will send you a serum that sprinkle anywhere onto the Buddy, and within 24 hours it will grow your desired feature(s)!
*Disclaimer: The HomeBuddy does not move autonomously, and is only capable of limited motion in response to external stimuli.
COMPANY HISTORY
Humble Beginnings
In the early 1900s, American psychologist Geoffrey Sonnabend broke new ground in the field with his studies on loneliness and mental well-being. His research pioneered new understandings of human responses in certain isolated environments that were, at the time, considered improbable.
However, the early 2100s saw the realization of that improbability. The apex of the Infirmocene was a drastic period of transition as people adjusted to staying apart from each other for more permanent periods of time.
After extensive study of Sonnabend's writings, qualitative research on the mental impacts of social distancing and quarantining, and advancements in biotechnology, Cytex Labs began development of a new product. Our mission? To provide comfort and well-being through tactile human touch. The original prototype for the flesh-based companion was tried and tested at Cytex Labs for many years. Now, we are proud to introduce the perfected HomeBuddy.
