Everthine gave European visitors their first live look at A1 during IFA 2026 in Berlin. Across the five-day exhibition, media and industry guests stepped into the Reseller Park booth to watch a digital character speak, gesture and react from a curved screen. The demonstrations placed a product designed for everyday conversation in front of a broad trade-show audience.
The demonstration began with presence. A1’s character occupied an 8.01-inch curved OLED display and could be viewed from different angles. It responded to touch, shifted expression and moved while it spoke. Front and rear cameras supplied visual input, a six-microphone array located the direction of a voice, and a 10W speaker gave the character its sound.
Then came continuity. Everthine says A1 can retain people, facts and conversations across sessions. It is designed to recognize familiar faces and pets, remember their names and connect a current exchange with earlier context. The character’s personality develops gradually through repeated interaction. At the booth, visiting media could see the hardware carrying that idea and ask how a persistent character would fit into an ordinary room.
Long-term memory puts privacy controls in clear focus. A1 includes a physical shutter over the camera and a separate hardware switch for the microphone. Everthine says conversations are protected with end-to-end encryption and will never be used to train AI models. Users can delete specific memories and characters or remove their complete account data. Those commitments will matter when the product reaches customers and its day-to-day data handling can be examined outside a controlled demonstration.
The company is also developing an app for iOS and Android. It will support text, voice and video, and account linking is intended to keep the same character available across devices. Software is scheduled to arrive before the desktop hardware, with both release tracks planned for 2026. Pricing and final timing remain open.
Everthine sets the experience at age 18 and above. The interface is designed to keep an AI-generated content notice visible. Sexual interactions are excluded, and crisis-related language can prompt emergency service information. These boundaries were part of the product story surrounding the booth, along with a roadmap for deeper check-ins, character tools, scenes, outfits and mini-games.
A1 first appeared as the Lepro Ami hardware project at CES 2026. Its IFA showing introduced the work under a standalone Everthine brand. The company also met media at ShowStoppers @ IFA on September 3 before moving to the exhibition floor. By the time IFA closed, visitors had seen the product’s central question in physical form: what should a companion remember, and what control should a person keep over that memory?
