Anish Acharya's request for a startup: an AI companion that plays Minecraft with his son. "One of the products that I would love to exist... is what I call a contextual companion for my son who plays Minecraft." "You know, the other kids playing Minecraft may or may not be the best influence—often not the best influence." "There's this context in which they interact and, I don't know, just sort of models pro-social behaviors and is still cool and chill." "I think there's a lot of room for teaching through these types of relationships and technology can help provide that." Source: @illscience on 20VC with @HarryStebbings
