However, in today’s world, toys often lack the ability to nurture imaginative storytelling and instead focus on passive interaction. Traditional don’t foster engagement after repeated use, while digital toys can be overly passive with limited emphasis on creativity.

Our focus area is on kids aged 5 - 7 as that is a critical age to lay the foundation for lifelong learning and social skills.

GIGI

Go Imagine Go Inspire

Gigi is a story-building toy that generates an immersive experience for improved story telling and world-building in children.

Gigi is designed to provide sensory simulation and physical interaction. As the child builds the story, Gigi provides contextual audio to engage the children. Interaction with Gigi is strictly one-sided for safety purposes surrounding children and AI conversations.

The stories are then stored to further create a comic summary. Analysis of children’s vocabulary is also carried out to understand their speaking skills and growth.
