At CES 2026, Takway.Ai unveiled Sweekar, a revolutionary virtual toy that is an advanced version of the classic Tamagotchi, now enhanced with artificial intelligence.
Unlike traditional Tamagotchis, Sweekar can ‘feel’ touch, remember its owner's voice, personal stories, and traits.
The toy evolves through various stages: ‘egg’, ‘childhood’, ‘teenage’, and ‘adulthood’. At each stage, it gains new abilities and becomes more attuned to its owner. Developers claim that the device can express emotions – happy, angry, sleepy, or with a ‘sly smile’. The Sweekar egg even vibrates and ‘grows’, creating a tactile experience.
A standout feature of Sweekar is its memory. It can remember the owner's name, favorite color, and important milestones, such as forgotten birthdays. This is made possible through a combination of Gemini and ChatGPT technologies.
According to Engadget, Sweekar will be available for purchase on Kickstarter starting March 2026, priced around $150-200.
