Everthine is presenting A1, a desktop 3D AI companion, live at IFA 2026 in Berlin from September 4–8. The event marks the device’s European debut and the company’s largest public demonstration before a planned commercial release within 2026.
A1 renders an interactive character on an 8.01-inch curved OLED display. The character produces facial expressions and gestures in real time, responds to touch and can be rotated to different viewing angles. The display curvature is intended to preserve a visible sense of depth as the viewer changes position.
The system maintains long-term memory across conversation sessions. According to Everthine, the character can connect current discussions with earlier details, recognize previously seen faces and pets, and retain names associated with stored images. Personality traits can develop gradually through continued use.
Environmental input comes from front and rear cameras and a six-microphone array capable of sound-source localization. A 10W speaker provides audio output. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support network and peripheral connections. Everthine says sensor data helps the system interpret the immediate setting and shape its response.
A physical shutter covers the camera, and a hardware microphone switch provides a direct sensor cutoff. Everthine says conversation data is protected by end-to-end encryption during transmission and storage. The company also states that this data will never train AI models and that users can permanently delete conversations, memories, characters and account information.
The A1 project builds on hardware shown under the Lepro Ami name at CES 2026. The product now sits within Everthine, an independent brand with its own AI software and hardware roadmap. Core elements carried forward include the curved display and microphone system, while the exterior and interaction software have continued to develop.
Everthine is preparing companion software for iOS and Android with text, voice and video modes. Account linking will allow the same character to remain available across devices. Software and hardware will follow separate release schedules, with software planned first. Pricing and specific launch dates have yet to be finalized.
The company plans initial support for English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. Everthine also sets an 18-and-older age requirement and says the interface will continuously identify the character’s output as AI-generated. Crisis-related prompts are designed to trigger emergency contact information.
