It’s the perfect robo-vac for klutzes: it’ll help you figure out where you dropped your wallet.

The Flow 2 is a new robovac from Narwal that has a neat trick for forgetful or messy people: it will use its AI-powered object recognition to detect and record objects it finds while it cleans.

This means you can use it to locate lost items, like keys or a wallet. Just look at the cleaning list to help you find it. Provided it’s hiding somewhere on the floor, of course: if you left it in a coat pocket or it fell off the side of the couch, you’re on your own.

Wallet hunting isn’t the Flow 2’s only trick up its sleeve. It’s one of three “modes” you can explore (you don’t need to select a mode before cleaning; it can do all of these things at any time).

In Pet mode, the robot vacuum will automatically detect areas frequented by your pet and pay special attention to them when cleaning. It can also track your pet for a video call and even interact with them using a selection of animal noises. Assuming the sound of disembodied barking or meowing won’t send your pet into a frenzy, of course.

In Baby Care mode, it will switch to a quieter suction mode and avoid cleaning play mats so there is no risk of contamination. Finally, it can detect and record dropped toys, reminding you to dispose of them (I suspect this one won’t be welcome to everyone).
