Petlibro Unveils AI-Powered Granary 2 Smart Feeders for Multi-Cat Households
The new feeders use a built-in scale and, on higher-end models, an AI camera to monitor feeding patterns, according to TechCrunch.
Pet tech company Petlibro has introduced a new line of smart feeders, called the Granary 2, designed to help owners of multiple cats track how much and when each animal eats, according to a report published by TechCrunch on September 19, 2026.
The report said the feeders come equipped with a built-in scale that measures food dispensed and consumed. Pricier models in the lineup add an AI-powered camera intended to identify individual cats and log their eating habits, TechCrunch reported.
According to the outlet, the more advanced health-monitoring capabilities enabled by the camera feature will require an additional subscription fee, separate from the cost of the device itself.
TechCrunch described the product as particularly useful for households with more than one cat, where tracking which animal is eating how much food can otherwise be difficult using standard feeders.
The report did not specify pricing details for the base feeder, the camera-equipped models, or the associated subscription service. Petlibro has not issued a separate public statement regarding the launch beyond the details cited in the TechCrunch report.
