PETKIT’s Purobot Crystal Duo is World’s First Open-Top Litter Box That Spots Health Risks

PETKIT has pre-launched its Purobot Crystal Duo, the world’s first open-top, AI-powered automatic litter box offering real-time feline health insight.

“An automatic litter box should do more than just clean—it should care,” said J.C. Zhang, Chief Product Designer, “Purobot Crystal Duo was never meant to be a gadget. It’s a health-first product designed to fit naturally into daily life and bring peace of mind to both pets and their people.”

The product’s launch coincides with a broader shift in the pet care landscape. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), more pet parents are turning to proactive wellness solutions, especially as cat ownership continues to rise. Crystal Duo not only reflects this trend—it reinforces PETKIT’s position as a category leader in connected pet health innovation.

At the heart of Purobot Crystal Duo is a discreet AI-powered camera that monitors cats’ behavior inside the litter box 24/7. Subtle signs such as loose stool, frequent visits or excessive yowling may trigger instant alerts through PETKIT app, allowing pet parents to intervene early. When paired with PETKIT’s pH-activated crystal litter, the system can also detect urine pH imbalances, helping identify health risks like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or bladder stones before they escalate.

While many automatic litter boxes rely on enclosed designs, research and real-world feedback indicate that many cats tend to avoid covered spaces. As a result, owners are often left frustrated and revert to manual scooping. Purobot Crystal Duo is the first AI litter box to feature an open-top structure, co-developed with veterinarians and feline behaviorists to align with cats’ natural preferences.

The open design encourages comfortable, stress-free use. Dual waste bins enable up to 30 days of hands-free operation, while hygienic, disposable trays make cleaning simple. A built-in N60 odor eliminator keeps the environment fresh and clean all day long.

While PETKIT has previously introduced AI-powered innovations, Purobot Crystal Duo marks a meaningful leap forward in building a fully connected ecosystem for pet health. As AI capabilities continue to evolve, the company’s goal is to synchronize insights across feeding, hydration and litter routines—delivering a 360° view of wellbeing through one unified platform.

“We started PETKIT with a stray cat, and we’ve never forgotten that every cat deserves better,” said W.K. Guo, founder of PETKIT, “With Purobot Crystal Duo, we’re bringing that vision to life—not just for some cats but for every home.”

PETKIT Purobot Crystal Duo is now available for pre-order at PETKIT.
