## Questions buyers ask

### Does Eilik need WiFi or an app?

No. The standard Eilik works offline out of the box. Only the optional AI Station needs a network.

### Can Eilik talk to me?

Not on its own. It responds to touch and motion. AI chat comes only with the separate $99 AI Station.

### Is Eilik or Eiliko the newer model?

Eiliko, launched in 2025, is the newer and smaller model with AI conversation. Eilik is still sold and costs $139.99.
