UPDATE: The new AI-powered virtual pet, Sweekar, has just been unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, and it’s poised to change how we interact with digital companions forever. This innovative product from Takway.Ai is designed to “feel your touch” and remember personal details like your name and favorite color, bringing a fresh twist to the nostalgic Tamagotchi experience.
The Sweekar promises to go beyond simple button-clicking gameplay, incorporating advanced AI capabilities that allow it to recognize your voice and adapt to your personality. The device vibrates and shakes, creating a tactile experience reminiscent of a living pet. As users engage with Sweekar, they will notice its unique moods, ranging from happy to “sneaky smile,” which adds an emotional layer to this digital interaction.
Unlike traditional virtual pets, the Sweekar features distinct growth stages including “egg,” “baby,” “teen,” and “adult,” each unlocking new abilities and deeper understanding of its owner. The device is engineered to remember personal anecdotes, making it feel like a true companion. However, with great power comes great responsibility—parents may want to consider the implications of giving an AI companion to children.
“The Sweekar needs your love, just like a real pet,” says a representative from Takway.Ai. “It’s designed to grow with you and understand your quirks.”
Using cutting-edge technology from Google’s Gemini and ChatGPT, Sweekar aims to create a personalized experience that feels intimate and engaging. While the device assures users that their interactions are private, concerns about data safety and the unpredictable nature of AI companions linger.
The Sweekar is set to launch on Kickstarter in March 2026, with an anticipated price range between $150 and $200. This price point positions it as a premium offering in the growing market of AI toys, tapping into both nostalgia and modern technology.
As CES 2026 continues, tech enthusiasts and parents alike are eager to see how Sweekar will perform amidst growing concerns over AI’s role in children’s lives. Will this AI pet become the next must-have gadget, or will it face skepticism from cautious consumers? Only time will tell.
