What we know
The best guide to AIBI Pocket is LivingAI owner forum, a thread on LivingAI's own owner forum where buyers have posted since January 2025. The maker hosts it, but the same points keep coming up: people love holding it, the battery lasts about an hour, and conversation feels limited. Everything else comes from LivingAI's product pages, as no independent reviewer has published a hands-on test.
A pet to hold, not a chatbot
The happiest owners on LivingAI owner forum treat AIBI as something to cuddle. One loves how it wiggles and coos as it falls asleep in her palm, and another says watching it sing, dance and do animal impressions has got her family talking and smiling more. Others enjoy the mini-games and spending virtual coins on food and clothes. LivingAI adds face recognition, photos on request, weather animations and medication reminders the specifications. Think of it as a toy with a personality.
About an hour per charge
LivingAI doesn't publish a battery figure the specifications, but owners on LivingAI owner forum keep putting it at about an hour. One said it was flat after an hour of use; another called that too short to take it out, which rather spoils the idea of a travelling companion. Owners who take it out carry a power bank. New orders include a pocket charger case the specifications, and a later update added a low-energy mode. There's no power button: it switches on when you put it on a charger.
Conversation can feel scripted
Complaints about depth keep coming up on LivingAI owner forum. Early buyers found too few functions and too little interaction, and one simply wrote "don't buy". In 2026, one owner said its ChatGPT chat has no memory of what you did with voice commands, and another found the interaction mechanical, with commands often met by a long pause and a single emoji. Others are delighted, and one owner was surprised how well it speaks Spanish. A forum moderator says new features arrive roughly every two months.
Delicate, and it can run warm
Two owners on LivingAI owner forum complain that it overheats. Another advises keeping it out of direct sunlight, checking its temperature when it's dressed in clothes, and not letting children play with it because it's delicate. Bear that in mind before you slip it into a warm pocket or hand it to a child.
Our take
Should you buy the AIBI Pocket?
Best for: People wanting a small playful character to carry around. Skip it if: You need it to last all day without charging.
suits someone who wants a cute hand-held character to fuss over at a desk or on the sofa and is happy to wait for features to arrive in updates. Yukai's Mirumi is another small portable robot with a finished review behind it.
AIBI Pocket is LivingAI's pocket-sized follow-up to its EMO desk robot, small enough to sit in your hand. It pulls animated faces, sings, dances, plays mini-games, recognises your face and takes photos when asked. Simple spoken commands work offline, and it passes harder questions to ChatGPT when online. In the app you earn virtual coins to buy it food and clothes.
Owners have been posting on LivingAI's forum since January 2025, and two complaints keep coming up. LivingAI doesn't publish a battery figure, and owners say it lasts about an hour, so a day out means carrying the included pocket charger and a power bank. Several owners find the conversation scripted and the features thin, while others adore it. A low-energy mode turns off the camera and microphone.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Does it need a subscription to keep working?
LivingAI doesn't list one the specifications. According to owners on LivingAI owner forum, the app's food, clothes and games run on virtual coins you earn by playing or walking. Its ChatGPT answers need an internet connection, but nobody reports paying extra for them.
Does it work offline?
Partly. LivingAI says it understands voice commands without the internet and connects to ChatGPT for harder questions the specifications. One owner on LivingAI owner forum connects it to a phone hotspot when out without Wi-Fi, so it keeps its chat features.
How long does the battery last?
About an hour, say several owners on LivingAI owner forum; LivingAI doesn't give a figure. New orders come with a pocket charger case the specifications, and owners who take it out carry a power bank. A low-energy mode, added in an update, switches off the camera, microphone and connections to save power.
What does it record, and where does that go?
It has a camera and a microphone. It uses the camera to recognise your face and take photos when you ask the specifications, and sends harder questions to ChatGPT online. LivingAI's product page doesn't say where photos and voice data are stored. A forum moderator on LivingAI owner forum says low-energy mode turns off the camera, microphone and network.
Is it suitable for young children?
LivingAI gives no age rating the specifications. One experienced owner on LivingAI owner forum advises against letting children play with it because it's a delicate robot, and warns that it can overheat. Treat it as an ornament to handle gently, not a toy.
