What this means for you
Now you can finally know if Fluffy is stealing food from Patches, without having to constantly watch them. But for more in-depth health insights, prepare to pay an extra subscription fee.
We talk a lot about AI, but its safety discussions are turning into a real circus. Distinguishing reality from science fiction in these conversations has become a Herculean task.

Does your cat feeder now have a brain?
Apparently, yes. Petlibro, the company known for its pet gadgets, decided it was time to give classic kibble dispensers an "upgrade." They've introduced the new Granary 2 feeders, and yes, artificial intelligence is involved. Petlibro introduced the Granary 2 feeders on September 19, 2026, promising to simplify life for cat owners.
The basic idea is simple: know exactly who eats what, and how much. If you own multiple cats, you know this is a Herculean task. The Granary 2 features a built-in scale that weighs the food dispensed and consumed. The pricier models, the ones that really make a difference, also include an AI camera. This isn't there to take souvenir photos of your cat eating, but for a much more strategic reason.

What's AI doing in a cat bowl?
Here, AI has a very specific job: identifying the cat. Yes, you heard that right. The camera "sees" who approaches the bowl and, thanks to feline facial recognition (yes, that's a thing!), figures out if it's Fluffy or Patches. This is crucial for tracking the eating habits of each individual animal. The more expensive Granary 2 models include an AI camera for feline facial recognition.

So, if one cat is on a diet or needs a special meal, the system can ensure they're the one eating their portion, and not the usual clever rogue trying for seconds. No more mysteries about who the real kibble thief is, in short. It's like having a personal nutritionist for each cat, only it's a machine and it doesn't judge you (at least, not openly).

Is there an extra cost to spy on your cat?
Of course, there is. Because a smart gadget isn't smart unless there's a subscription around the corner, right? The "fanciest" health-monitoring features, the ones that analyze eating patterns to flag potential issues, are locked behind a subscription service. The Granary 2 system promises to help owners prevent diet-related health issues in their cats.
So, the basic feeder tells you who eats what, but if you really want to know if your cat is developing kidney issues based on how often they gorge, you'll need to shell out more cash. A classic example of how AI, even for cats, often comes with an extra price tag for its superpowers.
Imagine an AI playing 2048, scoring big, yet not truly understanding the game. Sounds absurd, but TypeSafe pulled it off. This "intuitive" model is changing the game for AI.
Imagine inventing the wheel, then a year later a prestigious lab 'discovers' it, calling it a breakthrough. That's essentially what just happened in the AI world, with a look back.
