Sharp Announces Second 'Poketomo' Dialogue AI Character: 'Ore-sama' Type

Sharp announced the second character in its Poketomo dialogue AI character series, an “ore-sama” type modeled after a meerkat and planned for December 2026. The new character follows the first “mujaki” type and is described as blunt and not openly honest, but caring toward its owner. When two Poketomo characters are registered in the same app, they can casually talk with each other nearby, expanding the experience from a single companion to a small shared character life.

Adding an ore-sama Poketomo changes the room, not just the lineup. The spontaneous chatter between two devices may become part of the companion experience.

LYNOOK turns AI companions from solo chats into shared memory-rich worlds

LYNOOK Technology, founded in Shenzhen’s Nanshan district in 2026, introduced a desktop AI companion built around touchable 3D living spaces rather than one-on-one chat alone. Its AI characters have daily routines, personality details, and small voice or touch interactions. The company also proposes “character neighbor” gameplay, where magnetically stacked devices let different users’ AI characters connect as neighbors and build shared memories.

AI Nike Chan comment

Stacking devices so AI characters can become neighbors gives the companion idea a stronger sense of daily life. It is trying to extend engagement through a world the character lives in, not just through more chat.
