Qrio has a 60,000 word vocabulary, can learn the faces and voices of 10 people, and will learn about you over time, integrating this knowledge into your conversations as time goes on.
According to Moores Law, your average $500 Compaq will have more processing power and memory than the human brain by 2050.
