A face-to-face companion for curious kids

In development

Big curiosity deserves a little company.

Meet Loommi, a tabletop robot that gives curious kids room to ask, imagine, and talk things through. It answers with voice, expression, and movement—while keeping everyday family conversations private at home by default.

What Loommi feels like

Less tapping.
More talking.

Loommi trades tapping and scrolling for face-to-face give-and-take. A voice, an expressive face, and real movement make technology feel like something happening with them—not at them.

  1. 01
    “Why does the moon follow us?”

    Keep the “whys” coming

    Loommi follows one question into the next, giving kids room to wonder out loud instead of choosing from a fixed lesson.

  2. 02
    “What happens next in our dragon story?”

    Put their ideas in the story

    They choose the characters, change the setting, and steer what happens next—so story time becomes something they make, not just hear.

  3. 03
    “Can I tell you about today?”

    Room to say it out loud

    Loommi listens without rushing, giving kids a low-pressure place to take turns, name a feeling, or try a thought out loud.

Privacy that starts at home

The conversation stays in the room.

Everyday conversation stays private at home by default. Loommi listens and replies on the robot, so raw audio, video, and transcripts stay there during ordinary use. Questions, stories, and everyday talk are also designed to keep going without an internet connection.

Kept private at home by default

Everyday conversations stay at home

  • Audio and video from conversations
  • Full conversation transcripts
  • Listening and replying happen on Loommi

Clear limits on what connects

Only what’s needed—or what you choose

  • A basic status check that helps us maintain and support Loommi
  • The details needed for your parent account and privacy choices
  • Short, paraphrased summaries you choose to receive

During ordinary use, your family’s everyday conversations don’t go through an outside AI provider.

Parent experience concept · Details may change

Their space. Clear boundaries.

Stay in the loop without listening in.

Loommi works alongside parents and caregivers, never in place of them. When parent summaries are turned on, they give grown-ups useful context without turning a child’s everyday conversations into recordings to replay.

Companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors. Loommi is AI, not a person, and is designed to work with active parent and caregiver involvement.

  • More peace of mind before Loommi speaksEvery AI-generated reply is checked against a child-safety policy before your child hears it. In a sensitive or uncertain moment, Loommi asks for a parent or caregiver.
  • Context without recordingsOptional daily and weekly summaries use paraphrased themes instead of raw audio or word-for-word transcripts.
  • Clear choices before anything connectsOptional online features explain what leaves the robot and why before your household’s account owner turns them on.

Why active conversation matters

Made for joining in, not just watching.

Loommi invites children to ask, answer, choose, and create. Research supports those kinds of back-and-forth experiences in early childhood; Loommi itself has not yet been studied for developmental outcomes.

  1. 01

    More room to find their words

    Loommi listens, responds, and leaves space for the next thought—creating more chances for back-and-forth conversation. 12

  2. 02

    A real say in every story

    Questions and choices let a child help create the story instead of simply hearing it. 3

  3. 03

    Every “why” can go somewhere

    Loommi follows a child’s questions instead of steering them back to a fixed lesson or feed. 4

Explore the research and its limits

These findings describe general ways children learn and participate. They are not promises about any individual child’s results. Loommi is designed to support—never replace—the conversation, play, teaching, and care children share with people.
