I think I'd like my first robot companion to be chatty and upbeat, but tender. Perhaps with a nip of humour, a sense of mischief but, of course, not too much. She should have an air of cool, adorned with seasonal patterns and thoughtful accessories. She will know which herbs best season my stew and the jokes that work in emails to Uncle Stuart. I haven't really thought about how I'd like her to address my partner during a tempestuous evening. I suppose she'll work that out.
