Though it looks like only the barest sketch of a man , QA can provide a solid being for fellow worker to interact with – and can give an absent person a direction to look at and walk around the office even when they ’re home with a febrility .
harmonize to Anybots , QA is easy to use and is made with off - the - ledge function :
QA operates simply , cleanly , and quietly while still yield you a full forcible presence . It allow you to see and be watch , talk and take heed , and cooperate in ways and places never before potential .

In its verbal description of QA , Anybots accentuate how it can be great for work collaboratively , a process which is notoriously difficult for telecommuters who spend little time physically in offices with their colleagues . Implicit in this brave raw vision of tomorrow , however , is an end to the self-justification that you ’re too sick to go to work . feel ill ? delicately – outride in bed , but send QA to work for you while you rest at the keyboard , propped up on pillows .
