AI Technology & Interaction

The platform uses a multi-model AI approach combining foundational models, proprietary solutions, and fine-tuned systems for natural language processing, real-time streaming for fluid conversations, and sophisticated memory systems that remember past conversations to build lasting relationships. Through voice-first interaction with wake words like "Hey Jenna" or "Chuck," children can have natural conversations that feel like talking to a real friend.

Our therapeutic games, including the immersive yachting adventure with motion controls and biofeedback integration, are designed by clinical psychologists to provide evidence-based interventions while remaining engaging and fun.

  • Real-time streaming - Enables fluid, natural conversations
  • Memory systems - Remember past interactions to build lasting relationships
  • Voice-first interaction - Children can talk naturally using wake words like "Hey Jenna" or "Hey Chuck," making the experience feel like talking to a real friend
