Overview

Owlie is a furry owl companion, in brown or white, that perches on a shoulder or bag and reacts to voice and petting with chirps, coos and eye expressions. It recognizes and remembers faces, and its camera has a physical shutter with on-device processing by default. Lovipal showed it at CES 2026, though the only account found is the maker's own paid press release. Whether anything on it is motorized is not documented, so it may be closer to a smart plush than a robot. The Kickstarter page is in pre-launch with 452 followers and no price, specs or dates.
