Key points
- Founder’s Edition Mori costs $649, limited to a few hundred units, includes warranty and two‑year subscription
- Standard edition sells for $799 and excludes the nature‑sound subscription
- Mori runs local large language models, processes data on‑device, and encrypts facial data without cloud storage
Mori blends a lamp, a camera‑nose, and speakers, reacting to movement with light colors, simple dances, and calming sounds. It runs “Attentive Intelligence” powered by multiple local large language models, processing images and audio on‑device and encrypting facial data, which is never uploaded. The robot can guide breathing sessions, play nature soundscapes, and respond to simple prompts like “how does my outfit look,” but it does not function as a voice assistant and cannot control smart home devices. CEO Hua Wang, formerly of Meipai and Bondee, says future updates could link Mori to Oura Ring data or Spotify and add voice commands, though those capabilities are not yet available.
