Overview

A cat-eared tabletop pet robot from Zoetic AI (CEO and co-founder Mita Yun) that used on-device reinforcement learning so each unit's personality would develop from how its owner treated it. Shown at CES 2019 and crowdfunded on Kickstarter; the first 125 units sold out, but delivery slipped repeatedly (to Q3 2021 per the last product page), and the kiki.ai domain had been sold at auction by late 2024.
