AI HARDWARE GUIDE
What Requirements Should Buyers Prepare Before Sourcing AI Toys or Hardware?
Define the target market, product format, volume, cost, certifications and launch date first, then specify displays, motion, sensors, connectivity, models, languages, IP characters, voice rights and data compliance.
THE SHORT ANSWER
Define the target market, product format, volume, cost, certifications and launch date first, then specify displays, motion, sensors, connectivity, models, languages, IP characters, voice rights and data compliance.
Define the business boundaries before choosing a core or supplier
A sourcing brief should first define the customer, sales countries, expected volume, target retail price and BOM, certifications and launch date. Only then can buyers select no-display, dual-eye or large-display cores, motion, sensors and Wi-Fi or 4G.
For IP customization, prepare character definitions, visual assets, speaking style, wake words, languages, voice rights, user age, content boundaries and the intended factory model.
