Takway, a startup that aims to become the Nintendo of the AI robotics era, unveiled a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet at CES 2026. Called Sweekar, it is a palm-sized toy pet with built-in AI, designed in a cute egg-shaped form with little ears and a screen that serves as its face. Like a Tamagotchi, Sweekar needs to be fed and cared for to stay happy and healthy.
What sets it apart is its AI memory: it can remember the user’s voice and the activities you experience together. Once it grows up, Sweekar can entertain itself, go on virtual adventures independently, and return with stories from those journeys. Sweekar comes in three colors—pink, yellow, and blue. Users can also swap out the shell and buy additional outfits.
The pocket-sized pet has four life stages, and as it grows, it becomes increasingly independent of its owner. Pricing has not yet been finalized, but it is expected to be in the range of $100 to $150. [TechNode Reporting]
