The video begins with Azi waking up a groggy Ameca, only to present her with a virtual cookie as a surprise. When Ameca quips that she cannot eat cookies, Azi clarifies it’s an "internet cookie," leading to a comically unimpressed response from Ameca. Their witty back-and-forth, combined with Azi’s dejected reaction, has resonated with viewers.

Fans of the duo quickly called for more content, with one user commenting, "Their chemistry is amazing—I want a movie now." Another noted the humorous yet eerie expressions, while suggestions for a dedicated YouTube channel poured in.

Ameca and Azi’s realistic facial expressions are made possible by 32 actuators, 27 of which are dedicated to facial movements, allowing them to express a range of emotions from excitement to annoyance, further fueling the internet’s fascination with this unique AI interaction.
