Momo must have had one. I think she even mentioned it early on. She certainly would not have been able to learn such things living with Marigold.

Momo seems to be designed to be an actual companion and got treated as such, Winslow is a appliance with a personality, and got treated as such, just saying nobody came to Marigold and asked to borrow Momo to watch movies on :(
Seems like their "Owners" ??? Companions? Saw them in two different ways, and that affected what sort of social graces they had installed.
And yes there is a comic where Momo tells Angus she's got a social graces system installed.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Zeev on 16 Aug 2017, 14:34 ---I might be wrong here but are May and Winslow even really friends? I cant remember any significant interaction between them. They probably know each other through their mutual friends but I think May's perspective is that this guy she barely knows came into her place of work purely to tell her of his good fortune and gaining something that for her is at best a pipe dream. She probably overreacted, but I dont think her out burst is unwarrented considering the relationship (or lack there of) between these two characters.
+1 to Bubbles for being the consummate adult.

Welcome, thoughtful new person!
Yep. Bubbles is looking like one of the most mature of the characters after having been through the fire emotionally.

The forum learnt (or was reminded) that too-eager shipping before a relationship becomes canon has pitfalls!
--- Quote ---For a (fictitious) character that has attitude that is negative 96.3% of the time, you can't escape people labeling it in such terms.

In the forum we can and we do. If it helps, think of it as practice for treating real people with respect as well.

You might be looking at it the wrong way.
AI companions would likely fit in different categories to allow them to be paired with people with specific needs.
Pintsize might be a basic model because Marten just needed companionship. He was new to town, didn't have any friends and just wanted some companionship at him. Even Pintsize could do that.
Momo original chassis seemed to cater towards the otaku mindset, with the cutesy anime appearance and emoticons (sweat drops for example). Her appearance is almost completely designed to appeal to the kawaii appeal.
Winslow is the kind of companion you would assign to someone like Hanners, someone who suffers from extreme anxiety. He's almost child-like to help keep their human companion calm and presumably has the large screen to show soothing images and videos in case Hanners has a panic attack. If the group had to use him to help watch videos, its probably because he was the one best suited for that purpose, easy and intuitive access.
Kugai:
Poor Winslow.
May is, at heart, the author of her own misfortunes and misery and while one can have some sympathy for her, taking her frustrations out on Winslow is low even for her. She really does seed the proverbial boot up the ass for this.
I like the way Bubbles deals with it
He deserves time in Bubbles Big Chair
