Nextfriend is an AI hardware and software company focused on bringing real-time artificial intelligence into physical environments.

The company develops Nextfriend Core™, a universal AI brain module designed to power animatronics, decorations, retail displays, and immersive installations with live AI-driven voice and personality. Instead of relying on pre-recorded audio or static automation, Nextfriend enables dynamic, evolving interaction in the physical world.

In addition to its hardware platform, Nextfriend offers AI Projection Mapping, a system that allows users to generate cinematic AI visuals and map them directly onto real-world surfaces without complex technical workflows.

Its flagship character, Bone Daddy™, demonstrates the platform’s capabilities by combining AI-generated voice interaction with physical animatronic expression.

Nextfriend serves haunted attractions, seasonal installations, experiential retail environments, themed entertainment venues, and creators seeking scalable AI infrastructure for interactive experiences.
