Meet LOONA DeskMate: The Desktop AI Companion for Work

KEYi Technology introduced LOONA DeskMate at CES 2026 (January 6–9, Las Vegas), positioning it as a desktop embodied AI companion. It uses three signals—Intent, State, and Emotion—to achieve wake-word-free audiovisual multimodal perception, claims to eliminate 300–500 ms of silent latency, and connects to workflows such as Gmail, Slack, and Calendly through real-time clipboard and screen awareness.
