Digital cat promotes eco-friendly items

A digital cat in a village in Chongzhou, Sichuan province, has become a local star promoter since it started working just over a week ago.

Named Meow Buddy, the AI-powered agent resides in a 3D holographic pod at a newly opened shop in Zhuyi village in Daoming township.

Zhao Mingxiao, who oversees the store, said the digital cat's primary task is to share knowledge about sustainable development and promote sustainable lifestyles and products through dialogue and interaction with consumers.
