relaxAI Unveils "PetTalk" – The AI Breakthrough That Lets You Chat with Your Pet

I suppose it had to happen.  Today, I spoke to Bruce.  To say that he got the surprise of his life is an understatement and he was reluctant to answer for a while.  Once we got going, he couldn't shut up.  Turns out he had a lot to tell me.  Bruce is a dog.  I am a human. Hey, they're just labels. From  now on, we can all have all conversations great and small with the creatures we live with.

How is this possible? Today, relaxAI, the advanced AI assistant platform, introduced PetTalk, an experimental new feature designed to translate pet vocalizations into human language in real time. Even more exciting? It allows humans to reply in their pets’ own "language."  You can try it for yourself using this link.  Just click on "pet mode" when you get there and you're away!

Powered by deep learning, speech pattern recognition, and a specialized natural language model trained on thousands of pet audio samples, PetTalk aims to revolutionize human-pet communication.

According to Mark Boost, CEO of relaxAI, the concept came straight from users who wanted to strengthen their emotional bond—not just with AI, but with their beloved animals.

“PetTalk is an exciting and ambitious step toward expanding the boundaries of AI-human interaction,” said Boost. “We’ve been working with leading academic researchers and animal behavior specialists to make what once seemed impossible… just a little less impossible.”

The feature was developed in collaboration with Dr. Emily Petrichor, Professor of Animal-Human Communication at the University of Ashwood, whose research into animal vocalization patterns helped shape the project’s foundational AI model.

Dr. Petrichor explains:

“We’ve identified acoustic patterns in animal sounds that indicate intent or emotion. Full interspecies conversation is still a distant dream, but with machine learning, we can make an educated guess about what your dog or cat might be trying to express. Whether it’s right or not—that’s for the pet to decide.”

While PetTalk isn’t (yet) scientifically or medically certified, early testers have shared entertaining results—from a Labrador pleading for “a bigger bed” to a cat demanding “a sunbeam that lasts all day.”
