UPDATE: The highly anticipated AI-powered virtual pet, Sweekar, has just been unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, promising to revolutionize the nostalgic world of digital pets. This innovative device combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with interactive features, allowing it to “feel your touch” and remember personal details like your name and favorite color.
With the Sweekar set to launch a Kickstarter campaign in March, fans of virtual pets need to act fast. While the official price is yet to be confirmed, estimates suggest it will retail between $150 and $200. The device aims to create a deeper emotional connection, transforming the way users engage with their virtual companions.
Developed by Takway.Ai, the Sweekar boasts impressive capabilities. It will experience distinct growth stages—“egg,” “baby,” “teen,” and “adult”—each unlocking new abilities and insights into the user’s personality. According to Takway.Ai, the Sweekar will possess moods, including happiness, anger, and even a cheeky “sneaky smile” that adds a playful twist to the experience.
The AI integration is powered by Google’s Gemini and ChatGPT, allowing the virtual pet to recall user interactions and preferences. However, concerns over privacy and data management have been raised, as the AI may share insights that users divulge during interactions.
As excitement builds over the Sweekar, potential buyers should consider the implications of gifting such a device to children, given the unpredictable nature of AI. The emotional engagement and personal memories it can retain may lead to unexpected dynamics in user relationships.
Stay tuned for more updates as the CES 2026 event unfolds, and keep an eye on the Sweekar’s Kickstarter launch. This is not just a toy; it’s a glimpse into the future of interactive technology. For live updates, check out Gizmodo’s continuous coverage from Las Vegas.
