AIME

AiMe (also styled Ai Me, pronounced Amy) is TCL's modular AI companion, unveiled at CES 2025 as a family companion rather than a chore humanoid.

The first-generation system splits into three detachable parts: Baby Core (expressive digital eyes, stubby arms, voice and emotion cues), Drive Core (spaceship-style wheeled base and docking station with Italian Alcantara trim for rolling around the home), and Mini Core (portable camera/mic unit for photos, video, and on-the-go connection). Demos highlight chat, bedtime stories, smile-triggered auto-vlogs, night patrol, and appliance control through TCL's smart-home stack.

TCL's September 18, 2026 news post says the team built a second-generation production model for families in China and opened JD pre-sale on August 8, 2026. That page still does not publish a price, battery, or size. Chip and joint counts in vendor writeups are not on the TCL post, so they stay off the spec table.

HomeBotRadar tracks AiMe so you can compare this China pre-sale with buyable desk pets such as EMO. Status here is pre-order in China, not a global cart.
