Overview

A thumb-sized robot pet from the maker of EMO that rides along instead of roaming a desk. The head with screen eyes and a camera turns on a short neck, and the body attaches by magnet to clothing or a bag, hangs from a lanyard, or sits on a charging base. It recognizes faces, takes photos, shows weather animations, sets reminders and passes harder questions to ChatGPT. Owners and reviewers report glitchy face tracking, frozen faces and inconsistent voice recognition, and runtime is short.

A cute, very portable cousin of EMO, but still rough as software and more novelty than companion.
