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

Robot Pets, Desk Robots, and Pocket Robots: A Small-Companion Guide
How robot pets, desk robots, and pocket robots actually differ, what each format is good at, and where a motion-reactive companion like Oneira fits.
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.

The 1K camera supports deliberate, owner-triggered experiences. Optional Dream creation can transform a photo when the owner chooses it.

Optional helper experiences have narrow, visible limits. Broader research, coding, and workspace actions remain in development.
Understand the agent pathSmall companion robots now span three very different formats: robot pets that simulate an animal, desk robots that sit beside a monitor, and pocket robots small enough to leave the house with you. They get grouped under one label, but they make different promises, fail in different ways, and suit different people. The useful move is deciding which relationship you actually want before comparing spec sheets.
Three formats, three different promises
A robot pet promises an animal: locomotion, fur or armor, care routines, and a simulated creature that lives on your floor. A desk robot promises presence at your workstation: it swivels, glances, and reacts while you work, but it stays home. A pocket robot promises portability: a small expressive object that rides on a bag, belt, or key loop and reacts wherever you are.
None of these is the upgrade of another. A walking robot dog is impressive and stationary companions are glanceable, but both stay where you left them. If the moments you want a companion for happen out in the world, the format question settles itself before the brand question starts.
Judge reaction quality, not feature count
The demo-day trap in this category is a long feature list attached to behavior that feels canned. What makes a companion feel alive is the loop between input and response: does something you did just now visibly change what the device does next, and does the response vary enough to stay interesting after a week?
Ask exactly what sensors drive the behavior, what happens with no connectivity, and whether the expressions are generated on the device or streamed from a service. A companion whose core behavior survives airplane mode is a different purchase from one that goes inert without a server.
