I think it is a scam. Their website and one uploaded video is there for a day. There are no names. Address they provided is ordinary house. And if you search for their company "My TabAl, Inc" (mentioned in ToS) allegedly registered in California, you find nothing.

Even if it's not, in this size it can only send everything you say to 3rd party, no local inference.
Do you want Avi Schiffmann listening on you 24/7?
This is so sad on so many levels.
What's more, a company is surfing on loneliness and making it worse by putting out a product that is supposed to address (but won't really).
