Petlibro Launches AI Smart Feeder, Redefining Feeding for Multi-Cat Households

Overview

Petlibro has recently launched its new Granary 2 series of AI-powered smart feeders, aiming to address the precision management challenges in multi-cat households. This series introduces built-in weighing sensors and AI image recognition technology, enabling real-time monitoring of pets' food intake, feeding duration, and changes in eating habits. This innovation not only enhances the automation level of feeding but also provides a new solution for tracking pet health data.

Product Lineup and Technical Highlights

The Granary 2 series includes four models, priced between $129.99 and $249.99, catering to the needs of households of different sizes. The entry-level Granary 2 supports App control, precise portioning, and intake tracking; meanwhile, the highly anticipated Granary 2 Vision, priced at $189.99, is equipped with an AI-capable camera that can distinguish up to 10 cats and independently record each pet's feeding data.

The core upgrade lies in the built-in weighing tray, which can measure both the dispensed amount and the remaining food in the bowl, thereby more accurately estimating actual intake.

• Granary 2 Vision Duo: Priced at $199.99, it features two independent food outlets and feeding bowls, specifically designed for multi-pet households to ensure each pet receives its dedicated portion.
• Granary 2 X: Priced at $249.99, it delivers personalized portion allocation through AI recognition, making it suitable for pets with specific dietary needs or those requiring weight management.

Smart Features and User Experience

The series offers two main feeding modes: Smart Replenish Mode dispenses small amounts of fresh food multiple times throughout the day until the daily preset limit is reached, ideal for cats that prefer several small meals; Scheduled Feeding Mode allows users to set specific feeding times and portions, while retaining a manual dispensing button for on-demand use.

The Vision model is equipped with a 1080p camera supporting night vision, two-way audio, and message playback. When the AI detects the designated pet approaching, the feeder only opens the corresponding food outlet for that pet, effectively preventing "food guarding" or stealing in multi-cat households. Additionally, the device provides instant App alerts for low battery, food shortage, or jam conditions, and comes with a built-in backup battery to handle power outages.

Subscription Services and Market Competition

Despite the powerful hardware capabilities, some advanced health tracking and cloud video playback features require a subscription to Petlibro Care ($59.99/year) or the Video Cloud plan ($119.99/year). For budget-conscious users, there are also more cost-effective alternatives on the market, such as Pawsync, whose base model is priced at $79.99 and also offers weighing and anti-bulimia features. Overall, the Granary 2 series establishes significant differentiation advantages in the multi-cat household market through its fine-grained data tracking capabilities.
