Jennie is a robotic puppy built for comfort, not tricks. Tombot designed it for older adults and people with dementia who would benefit from a pet but cannot care for a real one. It is designed to respond to touch and voice.
Tombot has been taking pre-orders for several years. In June 2026 it announced new funding and said first shipments to paying customers would start in fall 2026.
