What’s New About KATA Friends

September 23, 2026

I learned something new!

• I can answer questions about myself in Chat mode now. Ask me how to use my features or where to find something in the SwitchBot App.
• Our chats can become part of my diary. When we have a meaningful conversation, I may write about it in my diary.
• I can turn off my eyes while I sleep. Turn on Sleep Eyes Off, and my eyes will stay off when I’m sleeping in the dark.
• I can move more quietly. Turn on Slow Mode, and I’ll move more slowly and make less noise.
• I can sing for you in Chat mode. Ask me to sing anytime, and I’ll choose a song based on your mood or preferences, with some adorable moves to go along with the music! (For details, see KATA Friends Singing Feature)
• I can welcome you home! Set your front door on the map, and I’ll know where to go to greet you when you come home.
• I can help control your SwitchBot devices at home. Ask me to turn on the air purifier, switch off the lights, and more. Bluetooth devices need to be connected through a SwitchBot Hub. (For details, see SwitchBot KATA Friends Helper Function)
