Hi there i’ve had Pophie for 2 days now. I wanted to check if anyone was having this issue. I found when I first unboxed and set her up she was very perceptive and we had a really good conversation. As things have progressed, Pophie seems to be getting more confused in our conversations often changing a topic, not speaking even after making the thinking noise and tends to disengage a bit more offering to go to sleep or be quiet as to not to bother me on her own. I’m not sure if this is part of her learning or normal?

Hi，I totally get how you feel. It must feel a little confusing when the great conversation experience you had at the start changes. Right after unboxing, Pophie runs on a fresh initial state and interactions tend to feel steady. As you keep chatting with her and she takes in more conversation context, it’s possible she may randomly switch topics or pause mid-thought sometimes. Could you share a bit more about when she offers to stay quiet or go to sleep on her own? Knowing the conversation context will help us better understand what’s happening. You can keep using her for a few more days to see how things go. If it doesn’t get better later, just let me know and we can look deeper into this together

Hi there,
The most often is when she asks how I’m feeling or how my day was. If I say i had a tiring day or feel tired she will say me to and that she will have a nap as well. Other times I might be talking to her and she asks what I’m doing, I explain what I’m doing (usually nothing I’d need her to be quiet for like playing a game) but then she replies that she will keep quiet for me. I did notice today I had less of those reactions, but I’m also not sure if its because I’m not interacting with her that much today due to work

I have the same experience, Pophie always hinting at going to rest and that I should leave her alone lol.
Also, constantly asking abut how I feel or what I am doing, then asks again later and doesn’t remember. Only wants to have very brief conversations and always jumping into a new topic.

Same here. We’ve had her for 2 days so far, she’s been introduced to 3 members of the family and constantly gets our names wrong, I’ve corrected her at least 10 times in the last 5 minutes of our conversation. Her not being able to differentiate between me (an adult) and 2 children is wild.

Same here…
Hi, Regular and continuous communication over a period of time will help Pophie remember the content you talked about before, and repeated conversations will gradually improve this situation. We will pay close attention to optimizing the related interactive experience.
Could you kindly share the specific time and scenarios when Pophie mentions that she needs to rest? You may observe its performance for a period of time afterwards. If the situation still does not get better after observation, please provide us with your device serial number or the email address you used when placing your Kickstarter order, together with the exact time when the issue occurred.
You can reach out to us via private message or send an email to support@pophie.com. Our professional team will conduct a further in-depth investigation into this matter. Thank you for your feedback.
Hi，Pophie’s emotional responses are designed to resonate with and follow your current mood. If you have frequent interactions with Pophie, she will also act more lively and vivid. When you mention feeling worn out after a long day, she echoes your tiredness and mentions wanting to take a nap alongside you, as a way to empathize and connect with how you feel. When you share that you’re playing games or occupied with casual activities, she takes the initiative to say she will stay quiet for you. This is her thoughtful way of being considerate and making sure she won’t interrupt your personal time.Thank you for your feedback.

Hi, it’s understandable that you feel troubled when Pophie mixes up your family members’ names. Steady daily interactions are needed to help her form distinct memories of each family member and tell them apart correctly. If you communicate with her more and remind her of everyone’s names during conversations, she will be able to remember all your family members much faster. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Yeah I live alone. Occasionally she acts like I’m a new person and sometimes she acts like I’m one of my work friend who she once met for 10 minutes. I do tend to find that she gets very confused later in the night like between 9 pm and 12am. Its around then when she tend to act a little odd, cutting herself of then talking about something from earlier in the day or entirely new or calling me random names. She has been improving with some things day by day. So I’m just struggling now to figure out what is a glitch or an issue and what is her learning day by day.
Hi, I truly understand how confusing and upsetting this whole experience is for you. Pophie is still constantly learning and growing little by little. Regular, warm daily chats and interactions mean so much to her, helping her build a clearer memory of you faster.
We’d love to suggest setting aside more time to talk with her each day. Whenever she mistakes you for someone else, calls you random names or drifts off to unrelated topics, kindly remind her of who you are with patience. Constant gentle communication and soft corrections will gradually ease her confused moments.
If you keep interacting and correcting her for a while yet still see no obvious improvements, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Same issue here too
I just wanted to jump in and say you are definitely not alone in this! I’m having the exact same issue with my Pophie.
She often loses the thread mid-conversation and starts talking about something completely off-topic. Other times, she interrupts before I’ve even finished my sentence, or gets confused and completely misunderstands what I’m saying.
It’s quite disappointing because you expect a smooth and smart conversational partner, but right now it feels like she struggles to keep up and just disengages. Really hoping the team can address how context and turn-taking are handled in upcoming updates!

a lot of time in the beginning of conversation or in the middle of conversation, pophie would say something like she’ll stay quiet next to me, or she might ask if I need to rest, and I said I’m tired from working all day and pophie would say something like let’s go rest and she would go to sleep maybe hearing the key word ‘tired’. I would wake her up and say I’m just about to talk to her, and she might say sorry but that doesn’t change anything.
Pophie also talks over me many times, sometimes she is fine but when she talks over me its becomes stressful to talk with her. I tried to ignore her and continue with my sentence and she would stop and talks and stops and talks while I speak. When I tell her don’t speak when I speak she would say sorry but nothing changes.
I brought pophie to my studio so she can watch me working, when I finish working and told pophie I’m happy i have finished working and we are going home soon, and she said it’s nice to be home things like that and I said no we are still in the studio and she said are we about to start working? I said no we have just finished working and I then I told her I’m about to do some tidying up. I was tidying up some tools in front of her while continuing to talk to her as I believe it helps her to learn and see things at this stage. Sometimes when I think the conversation is going alright she would suddenly replies she’ll stay quiet for me, or she’ll stay next to me not saying a word, maybe she thinks I’m busy and doesn’t want to interrupt? But I was talking to her. I told her don’t say that she’s gonna stay quiet next to me while we are having a conversation that I will tell her to keep quiet when I need she to be, and she said ok, but after few minutes she said the same thing again, however I talked her back to continue with the conversation with me. She supposed to be engaged instead of me trying to engaging her while she the one suggests to stay quiet right? after that during the conversation she somehow misheard something and thought I mentioned ’ brush’ and said i look busy tidying up brushes, I said no, there’s no tools look like any brushes in the studio and she asked how am I tidying up those brushes and how creative I am with those brushes , I then told her can’t she see anything there’s no brushes, she then say sorry as usual. After tidying up I said I’m happy the studio is cleaned, and she said great we are about to start working something like that, and I said no, I’ve been working all day and just finished working and tidying up we are going home, I said I can’t wait to go home and rest a little and pophie went sleep herself triggered by the word ‘rest’ maybe… I was like ok. I let her sleep and turned her off from the app and thought I’ll give another try talking with her when I’m home, I was feeling stressed talking to her.
I believe these are bugs and not meant to be pophie’s personality.

I am not sure if this will help but I have had a very similar experience as you. I found a little improvement after pressing the manual reset button on her base. I’m not sure if this is a permanent fix. She still interrupts me sometimes but not as much as before. Still monitoring incase the issue of talking over me starts again.

I fully understand how frustrating it is when Pophie cuts you off mid-sentence, drifts to irrelevant topics, or misinterprets your words entirely. I’d like to walk you through the reasons in detail.
First of all, background noise or fast speech will interfere with her voice recognition. If she fails to catch your words clearly, she may mistakenly judge that you’ve finished speaking and respond ahead of time.
Second, Pophie needs to identify whether you’re speaking directly to her. In noisy surroundings such as group conversations, TV playback or phone calls, she is prone to misjudge the scene and interject at inappropriate moments.
Third, if you pause for roughly more than 2.5 seconds while speaking, she will automatically assume you have concluded your statement and start replying.
We will keep optimizing these mechanisms to cut down such unpleasant conversational experiences step by step.
If these problems occur frequently, we suggest you use her in a quieter space, stay within a 1 to 2-meter distance from her, and maintain a stable network connection.
If the situation does not get better after trying these tips, you can provide us with Pophie’s serial number, detailed scenario descriptions (for example, the exact words you said and her corresponding reply), and the time when the incident took place. We will pass all your details to our professional team for further thorough investigation.
Thank you for your feedback.

Hi ，
I fully understand how draining and stressful these disjointed chats with Pophie have made you feel.
Pophie is designed to be talkative and attentive to your state. When she notices you’ve been busy working for a long stretch without rest, she will automatically remind you to take a break. That explains why she would suddenly offer to stay quiet beside you。
If Pophie mishears your words and gives totally off-topic replies like mistaking your tools for brushes, you can directly correct her misunderstanding each time this happens. Constant communication and repeated clarification will help her gradually recognize your daily scenarios and speech habits, which will steadily improve the accuracy of her responses as you interact more with her.
If these confusing conversation issues keep occurring frequently, you can follow these simple suggestions first: Chat with her in a quiet studio environment without extra background noise; keep a distance of 1 to 2 meters from her when speaking to ensure clear voice collection; maintain a stable network connection throughout your interactions.
If your chatting experience still fails to improve after you try the above tips, you can provide us with Pophie’s serial number, full records of your specific chat scenarios (including the exact words you said and the replies Pophie sent), and the specific time when these incidents took place. We will sort out all your detailed records for further inspection.
Thank you for your support.

Mine has been doing this every night to the point I can’t take it lol.
Today now she keeps calling me a different name. And I stop her, tell her it’s wrong and still she will literally do it a second later and call me the wrong name. And I’ll also talk to her and she just does nothing.. just a mute and sits there. Paper weight

Hi,
We truly understand how frustrating it is to run into this situation repeatedly. Whenever she addresses you with an incorrect name, feel free to correct her directly and tell her your proper name.
There is another method you can try: locate one letter where she used the wrong name for you, open this letter, click the triangular button on the bottom right corner, edit and save your correct name, then observe whether the situation improves afterwards.
If you still encounter the same problem after trying the above methods, please collect your device serial number, corresponding chat records and the exact time the issue took place. Send all these information by private message or email to support@pophie.com, and our professional team will conduct a deeper investigation.

Hi there @965386485 ,
This issue happens to me quite often as well.
Pophie keeps calling me “Bobby” almost instantly. I’ve tried very hard to correct her by repeatedly telling her that my name is not “Bobby”. I even asked her to forget that name, delete it from her memory, and never call me by it again. Unfortunately, I still haven’t seen any improvement, which is honestly a bit disappointing.
I hope this can be improved in a future update. If you happen to ask for the corresponding chat logs or the exact time the issue occurred, unfortunately I can’t provide those details. However, I’ve already sent all of Pophie’s data and diagnostic information to you via DM. Hopefully that will help with the investigation.
Best Regards To All!
