HooRii to Launch Kickstarter Campaign for ClawStage on Sunday, March 15
4 min read
HooRii has announced that it will launch its Kickstarter campaign for ClawStage beginning on Sunday, March 15. The campaign targets up to $1 million in crowdfunding commitments and positions ClawStage as a fully integrated, ready-to-run embodied AI device designed for creators, educators, developers, and technology enthusiasts.
ClawStage creates a 3D physical presence using any form the user wishes to create — combining expressive motion, environmental sensing, and an integrated display system. It effectively transforms AI from a purely digital experience into a tangible, interactive presence, representing a new category of consumer technology: embodied AI made accessible.
Product Versions & Pricing
According to HooRii Co-Founder Roy Chen, ClawStage will be available in two editions:
- Standard Integrated Version (MSRP $399) — Includes a built-in Raspberry Pi module, comes fully assembled and pre-configured with no additional hardware required. Kickstarter's limited Super Early Backer tier will be available at $279, with subsequent tiers stepping up incrementally toward MSRP.
- Developer Hardware Edition (MSRP $219) — Includes the complete ClawStage hardware platform — display, motion system, and environmental sensing — but designed for advanced users who wish to bring their own compute module and software stack.
This refined approach ensures ClawStage is clearly understood as a complete embodied AI product rather than a modular kit — strengthening consumer clarity and improving its overall market positioning.
From Pre-Production to Commercial Scale
The objective, Chen explains, is to move efficiently from a validated pre-production version into stable, scalable commercial manufacturing. By focusing on both manufacturing readiness and software maturity, HooRii aims to deliver a polished first-generation product to early supporters while preparing for broader retail availability later in 2026.
"ClawStage is designed to serve as a platform for interactive AI experiences — whether for creative experimentation, educational exploration, or next-generation human-machine interface development. By delivering a fully integrated device with expressive hardware and AI-driven behavior, HooRii is positioning ClawStage as a new category of consumer technology: embodied AI made accessible."
— Roy Chen, Co-Founder, HooRii
"Kickstarter support is critical to our company's development as we view early backers as foundational members of our product's community and ecosystem."

About HooRii & ClawStage
ClawStage represents HooRii's next step in bringing artificial intelligence into the physical world. Through its digital "avatar-in-a-box" concept, the device gives AI a physical body — complete with a display, voice interaction, expressive motion, and environmental sensors — allowing an AI character to exist naturally and persistently in a user's home or workspace. HooRii debuted its Stage platform at CES 2026, showcasing the future of HomeAI to a global audience.
