SwitchBot Kata Friends AI Pet Review: Useless If You Don't Pay Up
The reviewer spent two weeks with the $700 SwitchBot Kata Friends AI pet in their home office. The device coos and warbles, but without a paid subscription, it's essentially useless.
I’m sitting at my desk in my quiet bedroom and office. In the other room, I can hear the drone of a circulating fan, the crashing noises of my kid playing a video game, and, occasionally, the cooing or off-key warbling of the $700 SwitchBot Kata Friends AI “pet” with which I’ve been living for the last two weeks.
