Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC 2026) isn’t just about new phones and software updates. This year, AI-powered gadgets and robots are everywhere.
One standout is TCL’s new Tbot, an AI desktop companion for kids. Think of it as a friendly sidekick that steps in when your child’s smartwatch is off, like during charging or downtime at home. Tbot helps keep routines on track and offers support, so kids feel connected and parents get some peace of mind.
TCL Showcases Tbot, an AI Desktop Companion Designed to Extend the Kids Watch Experience
Tbot is still a concept for now, but it shows how TCL is pushing forward with AI and smart home ideas that put people first.
Tbot features a magnetic design intended to support stable placement and charging. It is envisioned to serve as an AI assistant that helps children build healthy daily routines through gentle, age-appropriate guidance (for example, setting wake-up alarms, bedtime reminders, and Pomodoro-style study timers).
A learning partner like the Tbot can support guided discovery and help children explore topics of interest in an age-appropriate way. It can also be a sleep companion that promotes a calm bedtime routine, including telling age-appropriate stories to help children settle.
The Tbot can also act as a caregiving assistant, helping parents stay informed through configurable notifications and alerts, when enabled and appropriate.
TCL is developing Tbot in line with applicable laws and regulations. AI features will be used only with granted permission, supporting parental choice and control.
TCL Tbot is designed to support parents in creating an environment where children feel valued and encouraged, fostering curiosity and healthy habits. By blending innovation with companionship, TCL is reimagining how smart connectivity can gently support children’s growth.
