Petlibro's AI-powered Granary 2 feeder targets multi-cat households with built-in scale and pet recognition
The company's latest smart feeder lineup combines precise portion tracking with AI cameras that can identify individual pets and monitor their eating habits over time.
TechCrunch — AI
Smart pet feeders have become increasingly competitive as manufacturers race to integrate artificial intelligence, health monitoring, and advanced tracking into devices that once simply dispensed meals on a timer. Petlibro has now unveiled its Granary 2 series, a line of automated dry-food feeders aimed at giving pet owners deeper insight into what their cats actually consume throughout the day.
What Sets the Granary 2 Apart#
The key innovation across the entire lineup is an integrated scale that weighs food in the bowl. This allows the feeder to track not only how much kibble was dispensed, but also how much remains uneaten—providing a more accurate picture of actual consumption than older models that simply log when meals were released. The system monitors intake volume, eating duration, feeding frequency, preferred eating windows, and eating speed, building detailed patterns that surface through the companion app in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly breakdowns.
For pet parents watching portion sizes or suspicious of appetite changes, this granular data could reveal subtle shifts in eating behavior that might otherwise go undetected.
Model Range and Pricing#
The series spans four tiers priced from $129.99 to $249.99:
- Granary 2 ($129.99): Entry-level app-controlled feeder with precise portioning and intake tracking
- Granary 2 Vision ($189.99): Adds an AI-powered 1080p camera capable of identifying up to 10 individual cats and tracking their separate eating habits
- Vision Duo ($199.99): Includes two separate dispensing chutes and bowls for multi-pet homes
- Granary 2 X ($249.99): Uses AI recognition to deliver customized portions based on each pet's dietary requirements
Operating Modes and Features#
The feeder offers two primary operating styles. Smart Refill Mode continuously supplies small fresh portions throughout the day until a preset daily limit is reached—ideal for cats that graze rather than eat in discrete meals. Scheduled Mode lets owners set exact feeding times and portion amounts, with a manual button for out-of-schedule feedings.
Higher-end models with cameras include night vision and two-way audio, letting owners monitor and communicate with their pets remotely. The camera-equipped versions can also record and play custom voice messages to call cats to dinner. The system sends for low battery, depleted food, or mechanical jams, and includes a rechargeable backup battery for power outages.
