Research verdict
A portable character for voice, vision, and small daily interactions—not a general-purpose assistant.
AIBI is designed to be a much smaller, more portable companion than EMO. It animates and turns rather than walking, combining a screen character, camera, voice commands, photos, reminders, small games, a wearable pocket, and cloud-connected answers in a device intended to move with its owner.
AIBI makes the strongest case when portability matters more than independent movement. Its official command set is unusually useful for evaluating the real product: a marked subset works offline, while more complex questions and several features require a network connection. Buyers should choose it for a compact companion experience, not assume it replaces a phone, smart speaker, home-automation hub, or programmable robot.
Best fit
- People who want a very small companion that can move between a desk and a wearable pocket
- Buyers interested in voice commands, photos, face recognition, reminders, and expressive reactions
- Owners willing to learn which commands work offline and which features depend on the network
Probably not for
- People who want a robot that walks around a desk or navigates a room
- Buyers expecting unrestricted conversation, music playback, smart-home control, or phone replacement
- Developers looking for an open robotics platform for custom code

Capabilities and limits
What can AIBI Pocket actually do?
LivingAI documents a mix of camera features, voice commands, expressive behavior, portable accessories, reminders, games, and online ChatGPT-assisted answers.
- 01Recognize registered faces, take and show photos, and identify supported objects through the camera
- 02Respond to touch, tapping, shaking, and being turned upside down with character animations
- 03Use supported voice commands for movement, volume, battery status, time, photos, lights, games, music-box behavior, and other interactions
- 04Provide weather, timers, notes, chat, and online answers, including ChatGPT-connected responses for complex questions
- 05Turn while on its base, travel in the wearable pocket, and enter a low-energy mode for a smaller portable companion routine
Important limitations
- AIBI can turn and animate but does not walk around a desk or navigate a home.
- Only commands marked with an asterisk in LivingAI's catalog are documented for offline mode; online Q&A and other features depend on connectivity and services.
- LivingAI's current first-party pages do not publish a complete conventional specification sheet with dimensions, weight, or a stated battery-runtime figure.
- The product is presented as a packaged companion rather than an open developer platform or general smart-home controller.
Software and setup
The app handles identity and setup; the command catalog defines what works online and offline.
The AIBI Pocket app is used to connect the robot, register a face, configure network, city, time zone, language, and preferences, and check identifying information for support.
LivingAI maintains a versioned voice-command catalog. Its asterisk notation is the clearest official way to distinguish supported offline commands from features that need the network.
Firmware can be checked and started with documented voice commands; available behavior can change as LivingAI updates the robot and its online services.
Place AIBI on its powered charger and keep the robot near the phone.
Install the AIBI Pocket app, connect to the robot, and configure its network, city, time zone, language, and preferences.
Register faces in the app before relying on face-recognition commands.
Install the current firmware, then test both marked offline commands and connected features before taking AIBI away from its regular setup.
Projects worth exploring
- Build a short list of favorite online and offline voice commands
- Register a face and test recognition, photography, and object-recognition prompts
- Create a timer, weather, note, and reminder routine
- Compare desk, wearable-pocket, charging, and low-energy use across a normal day
Privacy and connectivity
Portability makes the camera and microphone worth reviewing room by room.
AIBI combines a camera, face registration, microphone-driven commands, photos, an app, network access, and cloud-connected questions. Decide when and where those features should be active before carrying it through the home or outside.
LivingAI's privacy notice covers its mobile applications that link to the notice and says an app may request geolocation, Bluetooth, storage, and other device access. The notice predates AIBI, so confirm the policy and permissions shown in the current AIBI Pocket app during setup.
Use offline mode or low-energy mode when their documented limits fit the situation, review app permissions, remove unneeded photos and face records, and keep the firmware current.
