When AI is no longer just a voice assistant in phones, but becomes a smart parrot that speaks regional dialects, a desktop companion that understands emotions, and even a health guardian that can call for emergency help, artificial intelligence is integrating into every corner of family life in the most gentle way. JD.com's JINGZAO recently announced the full launch of its second batch of self-developed AI toys. It has **achieved comprehensive coverage across all age groups from children to the elderly for the first time**, marking the official shift of AI companionship products from "exclusive to children" to "a family necessity."

The new product lineup precisely addresses the emotional and functional needs of different groups:

For the elderly, the "Lao Lao Parrot" can have conversations in regional dialects, features a vast library of operas, storytelling, and authoritative health knowledge, and supports one-touch emergency calls, connecting with health service platforms, giving the elderly an extra layer of security;

For those under high work pressure, "Qiu Qiu and Mo Mo" focus on emotional value, helping users sort out their moods and relieve anxiety through natural conversation, becoming a "digital emotional confidant";

As for the child market, the "Pet Smart Dog · Dongdong" enhances the interactive experience, showing a wide range of expressions through an LCD screen, combining story questions and knowledge启蒙, making companionship more warm.

Supported by JD's self-developed **JoyInside multimodal AI interaction system**, this system deeply integrates capabilities such as voice understanding, emotion recognition, and personalized recommendations into hardware terminals, allowing toys not only to respond to commands but also to learn user habits over long-term use, dynamically optimizing content output—such as the type of fairy tales a child likes, common health questions asked by the elderly, or stress-relief topics preferred by young people—are quietly recorded and used to improve the accuracy of the next interaction.

Market feedback confirms the correctness of this direction. After the launch of the first batch of AI toys, several models sold out quickly, with continued demand despite restocking, and the return rate was extremely low, with users generally commenting that they felt a real sense of companionship. Behind this lies the beginning of the explosion of the Chinese AI toy market. According to industry forecasts, by 2030, the scale of the Chinese AI toy market is expected to exceed hundreds of billions of yuan, with a continuously leading annual compound growth rate in the consumer electronics sector.
