”For research purposes, the FurhatSDK is great because it’s very flexible – it allows you to quickly and easily develop demonstrations and short interactions, but you can also integrate your own tools to create even more complex conversations.”

- Maike Paetzel, Uppsala Universitet

”I've been using the FurhatSDK since the first generation, and each new release comes packed with great features. Using the easy-to-learn state machines concept, you can get started really quickly, while still allowing for a complex and scaleable architecture.”

- Björn Helgeson, Prototyp

”I love how the FurhatSDK enables Developers to control the voice, personality, expressions and spatial awareness of the robot, which is very important when creating human-like interactions.”

- Dr. Kais Samkari, DB Systel

”I'm used to tackling smaller problems related to machine learning but Furhat adds many dimensions such as speech recognition, TTS, emotion detection and user tracking. This makes it much more complex, but also very rewarding when it all comes together.”

- Pascal van Kooten, Rabobank

”The FurhatSDK is based on a model of dialog flows, state charts and events that bring clarity to everything you do. Once you understand these concepts, the SDK becomes really easy to use and before you know it, you'll be designing very powerful dialog flows.”
