Developing Casio's AI pet Moflin can be resuscitated if it perishes, according to the tech company's clarification.
Casio, the renowned electronics company, has taken a leap into the world of emotional wellness with the release of its latest innovation - Moflin. This AI pet, designed as a smart companion, is now available in Japan and the UK, and will be making its way to the US starting October 1, 2025.
Moflin is more than just a pet; it's a partner that can help improve emotional self-care. Casio has categorized Moflin as a wellness product, recognizing its potential for reducing daily stress and providing energy for tomorrow.
Each Moflin comes with a unique personality that adapts and changes based on interactions. This unique personality contributes to a sense of connection, making each Moflin a one-of-a-kind companion. The transfer of a Moflin's unique personality data is possible via a dedicated app, allowing for the transfer of a Moflin's unique personality to a new Moflin.
Casio's after-sales service for battery and motor replacements is intended to make Moflin last longer. With a service life comparable to other household appliances, the lifespan of Moflin can be extended, ensuring that your emotional companion remains by your side for years to come.
The launch of Moflin is a response to growing global interest in mental wellness and the expanding AI market focused on emotional support. Casio decided to bring Moflin to the rest of the world due to this growing demand.
In an interview conducted after a successful launch in Japan, Casio developer Daisuke Takeuchi shared more about Moflin and its release. He explained that Moflin is designed as a smart companion that mimics animal-like emotional responses while operating through AI technology. Moflin is an AI pet with evolving emotions based on user interaction.
However, there is a question about what happens if Moflin dies, as technology doesn't last forever and each Moflin is different. By using Casio's after-sales service, the unique personality of a Moflin can be revived and continued in a new Moflin.
Moflin comes with a charging bed and will be priced at $429 upon release in October. Casio is also considering expansion into other regions and will announce details as soon as they are finalized.
Moflin is set to bring a new level of emotional support to households worldwide, providing a unique blend of technology and companionship.
