Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, relating to an autonomous aerial personal assistant device (AAPAD). The AAPAD can include a base unit housing various electronic components, a balloon for providing lift to carry a weight of the base unit, and a positioning unit that maintains a position of the balloon based at least on feedback provided by a plurality of sensors and computers. In some implementations, a request to initiate a communication session can be received on the AAPAD. Data indicating a presence of the user can then be obtained. A preset distance between the user and the AAPAD can be determined. Instructions to one or more components of the AAPAD can then be transmitted to automatically navigate the AAPAD to travel toward a location of the user.
