Joto’s Alexa-connected whiteboard is not for teenage boys

Draw a picture in the app and it’s re-drawn by your wall-mounted Joto, whether it’s in the same room or across the world. It’s a process that looks a lot cuter with some actual art involved: Joto has commissioned some press-and-play illustrations for the device from the likes of Fred Deakin, Ben the Illustrator and Will Scobie. But you can also set this Alexa-compatible gadget – currently funding on Kickstarter for a minimum £165 outlay – to draw out the name of the currently playing Spotify track, the weather forecast or a to-do list. Or, should you let your teenage nephew anywhere near the app, you can watch it produce endless puerile drawings of male anatomy.
