The desktop robot that turns your phone into your best friend

This week at CES2025, we met LOOI, the adorably clever desktop robot that turns your phone into a charming, wiggling, personality-packed companion that could become your favourite coworker.

Forget about those boring phone holders – LOOI is way more fun. The moment you place your phone on this clever little gadget, it springs to life with over 1,200 unique behaviours that will make you forget you’re looking at the same old smartphone. It might take a sneaky nap when you’re working hard, scamper playfully across your desk when you need a smile, or just sit there observing you with curiosity.

Thanks to ChatGPT integration, LOOI isn’t just moving around, it’s actually chatting with you and helping you get through your day.

LOOI is packed with some pretty serious smarts that include visual, auditory and tactile sensing capabilities, facial recognition, gesture sensing, cliff detection and obstacle avoidance. This little guy on your work desk is sure to be become an instant source of fun. It’s probably the robot companion you didn’t know you needed, but soon will become the companion you couldn’t do without.
