On-device reactions
Oneira's expressive reactions run on the device, so its face can respond without relying on a cloud request.

Product status
What is available now?
- Working today
Working today means the expressive face has been demonstrated on a real Oneira device.
- Connected beta
Connected beta features require the Oneira app, internet access, a compatible service, and permissions you approve. They can change and may not work with every service.
- In development
Translation, creator help, and photography coaching are in development—not included product promises.
- Roadmap
Specific third-party connections, storage, places, events, and offers are roadmap ideas—not product promises. No release date is announced.
The short answer
Under $200, buy the current job—not the largest roadmap. Oneira costs $80 per Drop 01 edition and focuses on on-device expression, deliberate visual help, and optional app-connected tools.

Oneira Dream Big+
A local AI powerhouse in a star.
Small enough to look playful. Built with a dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera, plus optional connected experiences you control.
Each $80 Founding Unit includes one Oneira device with a dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera, plus the selected color and included eye set. The 1K camera is included; its final production module and other non-material production details may change before fulfillment. Optional connected services, provider accounts, usage, and third-party fees are separate.
Dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera
The working prototype includes a dual ai chip, oled screen, and 1k camera. The 1K camera is included in the $80 Founding Unit; its final production module may change before fulfillment.
Inspect the hardwareOptional connected services
Optional compatible connected services can extend Oneira when you choose. Setup, permissions, internet access, provider terms, and usage costs remain separate. Connected experiences work only with compatible services the owner deliberately configures. Oneira does not connect automatically to every service.
See compatible connectionsCompatible connected tools
Compatible connected tools are optional and owner-configured. Nothing is preconfigured, and universal compatibility is not promised.
See connected featuresDream Big+ photo generation
The 1K camera supports deliberate, owner-triggered experiences. Optional Dream creation can transform a photo when the owner chooses it.
Open Oneira CreateFocused helpers
Optional helper experiences have narrow, visible limits. Broader research, coding, and workspace actions remain in development.
Understand the agent pathBudget reality
The sticker price is only line one.
Add required subscriptions, cellular service, AI usage, shipping, tax, accessories, and replacement plans before comparing devices. Then identify which features stop if a service ends.
Oneira's $80 price covers the selected Drop 01 hardware edition. Optional connected providers can still require separate accounts or fees.
Product reality
Separate the working device from the launch video.
Look for real assembled hardware, current feature labels, exact camera activation, published returns and warranty terms, and a checkout total before payment.
Do not give future agent, translation, memory, or autonomy claims the same value as a capability that can be demonstrated today.
Who Oneira fits
Choose character and intentional help over a mini phone.
Oneira suits someone who wants a carryable expressive object, a round animated face, owner-triggered Sight, and a physical entry point for compatible tools.
It is not the right value if you need cellular calling, navigation, a phone app ecosystem, continuous recording, or guaranteed support for every AI service.
Budget AI hardware / compare the job, not the badge
At an accessible budget, purpose matters more than an impressive feature list.
Searching for an AI device under a set budget can invite bad comparisons: a voice assistant, a camera gadget, a wearable, and a character object may all use the same label while doing very different work. Start with the role you want to own. Oneira is an expressive pocket companion whose core animated reactions run on-device. It is not positioned as a phone replacement, health tracker, emergency monitor, or general-purpose computer.
Then look past the sticker price to the operating boundary. Sight is Connected beta and uses an owner-triggered image through an optional connected service; it is not background recording. Everyone present must agree before an owner-triggered Sight capture. Optional connected services can involve their own accounts, policies, availability, and fees. Translation and creator-oriented behavior are in development. Optional compatible connected tools and services are Connected beta integrations that require deliberate app setup and permissions; service availability can change, and universal compatibility is not promised.
A sound budget choice leaves room for the real job instead of counting hypothetical capabilities as delivered value. Compare what you will use on an ordinary offline day, then separately review the account, service, and privacy terms for any Connected beta path you choose to configure.
Questions, answered
The details that decide a purchase.
How much is Oneira?
Every Drop 01 edition is $80 before applicable U.S. shipping and tax.
Are the cheaper and more expensive editions different inside?
All eight Drop 01 finishes share the same hardware and $80 price. The finish direction changes, not the capability tier.
Is there a required Oneira subscription?
No Oneira subscription is required for the core expressive behavior. Optional connected providers, agents, connected tools, hosting, and networks may charge separately.
What should I compare besides price?
Compare the verified current job, offline baseline, sensor activation, data handling, required phone or network, subscription costs, return policy, warranty, and fulfillment terms.
