AI Story Companion

The Modular Screen-Free AI Storytelling Ecosystem for Children

🎲 AI Audio Cube €129 🔌 Docking Station €39 ✨ Dome Projector €99 🎯 1 Projector €79 🌌 4 Sides €179

One core device. Infinite expansion. No screen required.

The Problem

📱

Screen Time Epidemic

86% of parents cite screen time as a key concern and actively seek screen-free alternatives (Pew Research, 2025)

🤖

No AI in Children's Toys

Existing toys are static, non-adaptive, and fail to grow with the child's imagination

📚

Learning Feels Like Chores

Educational tools are either boring or screen-dependent — not immersive or adaptive

🌙

Bedtime is a Battle

No intelligent screen-free tool that makes bedtime genuinely engaging and calming

Our Solution

One core AI device. A modular expansion system. Four bundles to fit every family.
