The entry‑level Granary 2 provides app‑controlled feeding and precise portioning, while the $189.99 Granary 2 Vision adds an AI camera that can recognize up to ten cats. The $199.99 Vision Duo offers two separate chutes for multi‑pet households, and the $249.99 Granary 2 X uses AI to tailor portions for pets with special dietary needs.\n\nAll models include a built‑in scale that weighs food in the bowl, enabling the companion app to record how much was dispensed, how much remained, and how quickly each cat ate. The app aggregates daily, weekly, monthly and yearly metrics such as intake, eating speed, feeding frequency and favorite times, helping owners spot subtle appetite shifts. Feeding modes include Smart Refill, which dispenses small portions throughout the day, and Scheduled Mode for fixed meals. The Vision models also feature a 1080p night‑vision camera, two‑way audio and instant alerts for low battery, low food or jams.\n\nAdvanced health tracking requires a Petlibro Care subscription ($59.99 per year) and cloud video storage needs a Video Cloud plan ($119.99 per year). Compared with Pawsync’s $79.99 feeder, the Granary 2 offers richer AI features at a higher price point, making it a strong option for cat owners who closely monitor weight and eating behavior.","keyPoints":["Granary 2 series offers four models priced $129.99 to $249.99, with AI camera recognizing up to 10 cats.","Built‑in scale measures bowl food, letting the app track intake, eating duration, speed and feeding frequency.","Health tracking and cloud video need subscriptions: Petlibro Care $59.99/yr, Video Cloud $119.99/yr."],"whyItMatters":"AI‑enabled feeders give cat owners precise data on each pet’s eating habits, helping detect weight or health changes early, especially in multi‑cat homes, and illustrate how consumer AI is moving into everyday pet care.","category":{"slug":"hardware","name":"Hardware & Compute","url":"https://digestai.news/category/hardware"},"entities":{"companies":["Petlibro","Pawsync"],"models":[],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-19T15:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-19T15:00:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"TechCrunch AI","title":"Petlibro’s new AI-powered feeder is a game changer for multi-cat homes","url":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/19/petlibros-new-ai-powered-feeder-is-a-game-changer-for-multi-cat-homes","publishedAt":"2026-09-19T15:00:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Petlibro launches Granary 2 AI feeder series for multi‑cat homes\", 19 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/petlibro-launches-granary-2-ai-feeder-series-for-multicat-homes","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Petlibro launches Granary 2 AI feeder series for multi‑cat homes","datePublished":"2026-09-19T15:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/petlibro-launches-granary-2-ai-feeder-series-for-multicat-homes"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
