What if a robotic puppy could offer more? What if it could offer… hope?
Brilliant AI visionary Sakura Tanaka, driven by a past tragedy to create technology that heals, and resourceful young engineer Chase Hawthorne, rebuilding his own life after a career-ending injury, are an unlikely pair. But a shared dream ignites between them: Kibo, an AI companion puppy designed not just with complex algorithms, but with the potential to understand the human heart.
Their journey takes them from a California garage to the demanding labs of Stanford and the competitive tech arenas of Tokyo. Together, Chase and Sakura pour their souls into Kibo and their fledgling startup, Kiba Robotics. They battle sleepless nights of coding, skeptical investors, and the looming threat of corporate giants. All while navigating the complexities of a love that blossoms amidst ambition, distance, and uncertainty.
As Kibo takes its first steps towards changing lives, will Chase and Sakura’s creation bridge the gap between silicon and soul? And can their own connection withstand the relentless pressures of their audacious dream?
Dive into a story of breathtaking innovation, unwavering resilience, and the spark of human—and artificial—connection.
