LAS VEGAS, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — X-Origin AI is proud to exhibit its new, super-affordable handheld AI chatbot device, the AIPI Lite, at CES in Las Vegas. The $22 post-it sized LLM interface will make its appearance at the Unveiled exhibition (Table number: 632) on January 4 in Mandalay Bay from 4-7 PM, and can also be seen on the CES showfloor in the Venetian Expo, Level 2, Halls A-D, booth 55742.
AIPI Lite
The $22 AIPI Lite offers a new UX for the rising popularity of large language model interfaces. Rather than relying on apps or multipurpose devices with complex interfaces to use chatbots, the AIPI Lite distills the AI interaction experience down to a one-button interface: Talk to it, and it talks back.
It’s incredibly portable at just 55.5×47.5×7.8mm — smaller than some USB chargers, and thinner than many phones. Its powerful software offers the flexibility and customization to work with multiple LLM back-end systems, including ChatGPT and Gemini. You can also customize your AIPI Lite to use several different purpose-driven bots, from categories such as beauty/skincare advice, pet/animal content, fitness/sports assistance, and daily motivation, among others, or further customize your bot with a custom backstory, personality in a preferred voice, or the dialogue style to match your needs. Paired with their affordability, they can be easily left in locations for purpose-driven use cases. Leave one in the kitchen for cooking help, put one in the closet for fashion combination advice, or toss one on the coffee table for content recommendations.
With high-performance models and a low-latency interface, talking to it is as natural an experience as any other large language model, all with the simplicity of a button-driven interface. No pulling out your phone, unlocking it, or switching apps, just a single tap to talk, with natural language processing guiding your experience.
The AIPI Lite also offers subscription-based features that leverage more advanced AI models, including a bot marketplace and character library, long-term contextual memory, and voice cloning capabilities, all powered by the latest, most cutting-edge LLM systems.
From learning to entertainment to creativity, the $22 AIPI Lite democratizes chatbot access in a dedicated, super-portable, and super-affordable package that turns your questions into AI-powered answers with a single tap.
