Personifi AI has announced it is shattering the boundaries between humans and pets with the unveiling of its Shazam Band, an AI-powered cognitive wearable that gives pets a voice. Shazam revolutionizes the relationship between pets and people by enabling pets to express their needs and emotions, and even offer empathy and support, fostering a deeper and more meaningful connection with humanity.
“The Shazam Band is a game-changer for the bond we share with our pets,” said John McHale, CEO of Personifi AI. “We’ve always imagined what our pets would say if they could speak — well, imagine no more. Shazam makes that dream a reality, bringing joy, empathy, and understanding into every interaction.”
Shazam is not just about cognition — it’s about fun. At the time of purchase, pet owners can choose from 27 imaginative personas that reflect their pet’s unique spirit. Whether your pet is a fast-talking mafia boss, a lovable goofball or a witty southern belle, Shazam lets pets express their personality in hilarious and heartwarming ways. With voice options in English, Mandarin, Spanish and Patois, Shazam speaks the language of love — literally.
The Shazam Band was created by a powerhouse team blending expertise from technology, entertainment, science and animal behavior.
“I’ve spent years giving pets a voice on social media to make people laugh, but Shazam is something I never thought possible. This tech is life-changing, and I’m proud to be part of it” said Bobby Johnson, a co-founder of Personifi AI who is known as RxCKSTxR on social media.
The benefits of Shazam extend beyond communication — it’s a win for pet and human well-being.
“Shazam is a breakthrough that promotes happiness for humans and security for pets,” added Matt Beisner, a certified professional dog trainer, Personif AI Advisor, and Netflix, Disney+, and CNN pet pundit. “It creates a bridge of understanding that transforms how we care for and protect our pets and for how our pets can now care for us.”
At the heart of the Shazam Band is Personifi’s cutting-edge AI technology — Sentience Augmentation. This advanced system combines sensors, machine learning, and vast data sets to interpret a pet’s emotions, health needs, and reasoning, allowing pets to “speak” in real-time, understand the emotions of humans, and provide empathy and love. Through the Shazam app, pet owners can also personalize their pet’s education by instilling beliefs, values, and knowledge as their pet matures.
The Shazam Band is available for pre-order starting October 15, with shipments beginning in February, 2025.
