A popular, sexy AI agent is set to receive a robotic body that becomes a ‘productivity partner’ for lonely men in the real world.
The AI creation, called ElizaOS, is designed as a young woman with long black hair, dark-rimmed glasses, pouty lips and large breasts, which will be recreated into a five-foot, 10-inch tall humanoid.
Created by Eliza Labs, the AI-powered robot Eliza Wakes Up will feature a silicon animatronic face capable of mirroring human emotions and expressions.
The company claims Eliza can also cut a cigar and pour a drink and will come with custom-tailored clothes and optional accessories.
While Eliza Labs says the robot was not designed for sex, the company is developing an artificial vagina for the AI version.
According to creators, Eliza Wakes Up is in ‘advanced stages of development,’ and is now available for pre-order starting at $420,000.
Matthew Graham, advisor to the company, said: ‘This will be the most advanced humanoid robot ever seen outside a lab.
‘We are rapidly approaching a robotics revolution, and Eliza Wakes Up stands at the forefront of this transformation.’

Shaw, Founder of Eliza Labs, said: ‘ElizaOS powers the most advanced, human-like AI agents currently available on the market.
‘We’re excited to see Eliza Wakes Up bringing Eliza into the physical world, creating a truly immersive experience that bridges the gap between digital intelligence and human connection.’
Shaw has remained anonymous with his company, along with others on his team.
The robot can run at an eight-minute mile speed, faster than the nine to 10 minutes it takes a human to complete the same distance.
Eliza adapts to the user’s needs, handling tasks like managing schedules, engaging on social media, automating research, processing documents and executing blockchain transactions.
The company said the ‘hardware and software are configured with safeguards, which makes it difficult to use the robot for unintended purposes,’ such as being used for sexual activities.
Shaw announced last week that he is seeking a device that would let people have sex with an AI agent, and offered a $1,000 grant to make it happen.
AI agents are more advanced than chatbots, with the ability to make decisions and perform tasks on their own.

A Las Vegas developer, known as Bry.ai, accepted the challenge, offering his device called Orifice, Decrypto reports.
The device, in early stages, features sensors that can measure the velocity of thrusts and record how deep the robotic vagina is being penetrated. It is unclear if the device will be added to the humanoid in the future.
Graham made it a point to mention that the focus of the project is simply not of a sexual nature.
‘It’s not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with this, or any kind of sex. It’s just that that’s not really what the focus of this project is,’ he told Decrypto.
‘It’s about filling a very real need for companionship that, in our view, is really one of the most untapped psychological needs in the world today.’
Robots that look, talk and act like humans were once only seen in movies, but such innovations are hitting the market in droves.
A study from 2016 also predicted that women would have more sex with robots than human men in 2025.
This new year marks the date futurist Dr Ian Pearson anticipated humanity ‘will start to see some forms of robot sex appearing in high-income, very wealthy households.’
‘Vibrators have been around for over a century,’ Dr Pearson noted, ‘but now the vibrant sex toy industry doesn’t just make standalone devices, but teledildonic devices that bring all the fun and functionality of computing and networks to sex too.’
First conceived in 1975, ‘teledildonics’ has become the technical term of art for mechanical sex toys that operate remotely, whether via the internet or otherwise.
By some surveys, as many as 63 percent of women admit they either already use or would like to use a sex toy, with 40 percent admitting virtual reality would make sex more fun and enjoyable.
Although the market for human-like sexbots is often imagined to be male dominated, other analysts have also suggested this gender balance is destined to flip.
‘I think it’s the men who should be worried,’ Harvard-trained mathematician and data scientist Dr Cathy O’Neil said. ‘It’s entirely possible that robots can outperform them.’
