Before you buy
Where to buy Cubie
EgoScience sells Cubie through Kickstarter, and MetaOriental links to that campaign rather than shipping the robot. Cubie costs $179.00. Backing a campaign is a commitment rather than a purchase, so treat the delivery date as an estimate.
Who Cubie is for
Cubie is a desk ornament with a personality rather than an assistant — it does not take notes, answer questions or control anything in your home. The robot reacts expressively to what happens around it, and EgoScience built it to behave without fixed dialogue scripts so it does not repeat the same responses. Cubie runs its interactions locally rather than depending on a constant cloud connection.
Is Cubie worth $179?
Cubie sits in the same price range as a good desk lamp and does nothing practical, so it is bought for company rather than for function. Its appeal rests entirely on whether the personality holds up after the first week, and no independent long-term reviews exist yet because the product is still at campaign stage. Anyone wanting a desk device that actually does something should look at a smart display instead.
