SHENZHEN, November 28 – In a testament to its growing consumer appeal in the realm of emotionally intelligent AI products, Huawei’s Clever Buddy, an innovative AI-powered emotional companion toy, saw immediate success as it sold out within minutes of launching on November 28. Despite multiple restocks, the demand for this plush robot remained high.
Priced at RMB 399 ($55), Clever Buddy is developed in collaboration with Luobo Intelligence and designed by Fuzozo Studio to provide a unique conversational experience enabled through Huawei’s Xiaoyi large language model. This toy offers touch interaction, a personalized diary system that records daily interactions, and engaging emotional dialogue tailored to the user.
Clever Buddy distinguishes itself from other smart toys by focusing solely on conversational companionship without incorporating features like music generation or singing capabilities. The toy requires HarmonyOS 5.0 or above for operation and is integrated into Huawei’s broader ecosystem via a dedicated app, ensuring seamless connectivity with the brand’s devices.
The rapid sell-out highlights Huawei’s strategic move to extend its product portfolio beyond smartphones and automotive solutions by tapping into the burgeoning market of AI-driven lifestyle products. This successful launch underscores the company’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation in consumer electronics.
