Is there a similarity to Nintendo's 'Miitomo' app at least in expressing interactions...

That's stupid. AI is nowhere near the point of actually being useful in such a manner. Haven't they learnt that technologies based on AI applications are botched?

We have the scarcest understanding of what intelligence is, less so applying it. Such "innovations" actually drive people away from being enthusiastic about the future. Research a product and then release it. Microsoft tends to release a product first and then research it. Someday this vile company should be put to rest.
