Cozyla Showcases AI Voice Assistant as Shaquille O’Neal Tests Cozyla Agent During Times Square Livestream

An unscripted exchange during TikTok Shop LIVE at TM: Times Square showed how Cozyla Agent brings real-time voice interaction into everyday family life.

Cozyla demonstrated its AI-powered voice assistant, Cozyla Agent, during a TikTok Shop LIVE event at TM’s Times Square flagship, where NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal tested the technology with an impromptu basketball question about NBA championship wins. Cozyla Agent responded in real time, answering that Charles Barkley won zero NBA championships and O’Neal won four.

Cozyla Agent answered in real time: zero for Barkley and four for O’Neal.

The unscripted exchange offered a spontaneous demonstration of Cozyla Agent’s ability to respond to questions in the moment. But its role extends beyond answering trivia. Beyond answering questions, Cozyla Agent brings voice interaction into everyday family tasks, from updating shared calendars and planning routines to coordinating activities and finding nearby restaurants.

O’Neal’s interest extended beyond the livestream. He returned to the Cozyla booth several times during the event and received a 15.6-inch Cozyla Calendar Neo. He also expressed interest in having ten 24-inch Cozyla Calendar Plus 3 for his new home.

The Future of Family Starts Here

For Cozyla, the interaction reflected a broader vision: technology that does more than respond to individual requests; it helps make everyday life easier to organize for the entire household.

Research commissioned by Cozyla and conducted by Drive Research found that 90% of surveyed parents experienced stress related to family life, while approximately 80% said their children were not actively involved in family organization.

Cozyla is developing its Family System to help address these challenges by bringing shared schedules, daily routines, tasks, and voice-powered assistance into a connected ecosystem. At the event, four products demonstrated this approach: Cozyla Calendar Plus 3, Cozyla Calendar Neo, and Cozyla Calendar Plus Go, all powered by Cozyla Agent, and Cozyla Routine, a children’s bedside routine helper powered by Cozyla Pal.

Together, these products are designed to help parents coordinate household responsibilities, give children more opportunities to participate in daily routines, and make family plans easier for everyone to see and follow.

“More than 90% of the creators we work with are moms of multiple children, and their feedback reveals a common challenge: too much of family life depends on constant reminders and coordination,” said Huisi Chen (Emily), Head of Brand Partnerships at Cozyla. “We believe technology should empower the whole family to take part, so families spend less time managing and more time connecting.”

Built for the Realities of Family Life

Keeping a household organized means coordinating school schedules, work commitments, meals, and extracurricular activities. As a father of three, Cozyla VP of Sales Brent Kovalsky knows firsthand how challenging it can be to keep everything organized.

“Between school schedules, activities, and everyday routines, there’s a lot to keep track of with three kids. Cozyla helps us bring everything together in one place, so our family can stay organized and know what’s coming up,” said Kovalsky.

By making family plans easier to see and daily routines easier to follow, Cozyla aims to help parents stay organized while giving children more opportunities to participate and build independence.

Recognition for Innovation in Family Technology

Cozyla’s approach has received recognition from both media and the technology industry. The company has reached more than 130,000 users, and TIME named Cozyla Calendar Plus 2 to its Best Inventions of 2025. Cozyla Routie received a 2026 IFA Innovation Award in the Best in Smart Home category.

Forbes Vetted also published hands-on coverage of Calendar Plus 2 in 2026, examining its family-oriented features, including shared calendars, task management, and meal planning.
