Turn Any Prop Into an Interactive AI Character
Bring your Halloween props to life with the Nextfriend CoreTM. This powerful AI controller transforms static decorations, animatronics, skeletons, pumpkins, witches, clowns, zombies, monsters, and custom creations into interactive talking characters. Instead of repeating canned phrases, your character listens, responds, stays in character, answers questions, tells jokes, and entertains guests, creating unforgettable experiences. Whether you're building a home haunt, upgrading an existing animatronic, creating a convention display, or designing a show-stopping Halloween attraction, Nextfriend Core gives your prop a brain of its own. Control jaw movement for lifelike speech, trigger compatible lights and effects, and manage everything through the Nextfriend dashboard. Includes the AI controller, protective enclosure, 10W speaker, USB-C power supply, USB lavalier microphone, quick start guide, and starter credits. Requires Wi-Fi connection and active Nextfriend subscription ($7.99/month or $79.99/year). Stop playing prerecorded phrases. Start building characters that actually talk back.
