This is not a toy.

Serious hardware, open source code, and a learning platform, made to work together. You assemble it, we've made sure everything fits.

01

It recognizes faces.

It remembers who you are. The next time you walk in, it greets you by name. Face processing is local, with no cloud or external server.

02

It remembers conversations.

It knows what you said last week and picks up where you left off. It stores hundreds of conversations in its memory.

And talks back.

When it speaks, the face moves in real time. The lips and expression follow the words thanks to highly natural lip sync.

04

Moves naturally.

Ninety servos work together to make the movements smooth and natural.

Common questions.

How much does it cost?
The final kit price is announced at launch. Reserving with a deposit locks in your price — even if we launch the kit at a higher price for everyone else. The deposit is fully refundable if you decide to pull out.
Who is this for?
Students, teachers, and people who want to learn serious electronics, programming, and AI by building. The platform guides you if you're starting from scratch. The code is open if you want to go deeper.
When does it ship?
The first 10 kits ship this year. After that, we continue fulfilling reservations in order. You'll receive your exact ship window by email once the final date is confirmed.
What if a part breaks?
Any 3D-printed part can be reordered at print cost. The electronics are standard — servos, ESP32, and boards are widely available from common suppliers. We document every component so you can replace it yourself.
How long does it take to build?
Around 20 hours for the first build. The platform breaks the build into steps — you can do one a day or finish it over a weekend.
Why pre-order?
We produce in small batches, and reservations help us plan exactly how much to make. That's why reserving locks your price and your spot in the first batch — before we run out of materials or capacity.
