CES 2026: Senso Is a Smart Plant Sensor With an AI Tamagotchi

Senso is a gamified plant sensor that's designed to use AI to improve plant care. It is supposed to track soil moisture, temperature, and light exposure data in real time, and there is a little pixel creature that delivers AI insights.


The pixel creature awakens once the sensor is placed in soil, and users can complete daily and weekly plant care missions to collect rewards and unlock new characters. The sensor has a modular design with different depth options, and multiple sensors for multiple plants can be combined. The AI and an accompanying app are meant to adapt to provide accurate readings across different plant species and pot types.

The device supports voice-based AI interactions, so you can ask it questions to get responses from a "friendly plant expert."

Feel soil. Dry? Give water.
Plant not weekly in front of a sunny windows? You know what to do if it seems unhealthy.
Temperature? Ever seen a plant with a jacket on?

Hate to be “that guy”, but I think we are stretching the limits of what constitutes “Apple adjacent news”… But I guess you could grow an apple tree 🥳
