- The page says headphone-only practice will not count in the first version, and recognition still needs real-device testing.
Field notes
The page says five minutes of playing fills the pet’s bowl for the day, while steady playing can also activate a tempo gauge showing beats per minute and consistency. It describes the pet as getting sleepy after a missed day rather than losing growth, and says listening and recordings stay on the device. These are presented as product behavior, but the sound model is still being tested with recordings from the real device.
