Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      You may want to sit down for this one.    The research and development folks at Charmin have team up with tech company Unit 9 to develop the BRB Bot.    It is software designed to let you create a digital stand in for yourself….when nature calls while you’re in the middle of a video call on Zoom, Google, Skype or you name it…

“You can step away at any time and the bot just takes over seamlessly in a way that no one actually realizes that you’re not there.”

Unit 9’s Maciej Zasada.    Charmin’s Director of R and D Gregg Weaver..

“Let’s face it.   Nature calls at some unopportune times and BRB Bot is here to answer that call.”

Of course…this is all being done with a sense of humor…comedian Niecy Nash and Steelers Wide Receiver Juju Smith Schuster took part in Charmin’s virtual press event.  As for when or really if the software will be available to the public…Charmin is playing it cheeky.
