BBesties How it works

For curious kids ages 4+

Fun friends for healthy minds.

Besties is an AI character app where children can talk naturally with playful companions who turn questions into learning about healthy eating, STEM, books, manners, space, and the world around them.

Built to feel like a friend, not a lesson.

How it works

Pick a friend. Start talking. Follow the curiosity.

  1. 1

    Choose a character

    Every Bestie has a world of their own, from nutrition and STEM to stories and space.

  2. 2

    Talk naturally

    Kids ask questions out loud and get friendly, age-appropriate conversation in return.

  3. 3

    Turn play into learning

    Each conversation creates a small opening to explore a healthy habit, a new idea, or a bigger question.

A growing cast

One app. A whole curious world.

Freddy talks food and healthy habits. Gizmo explores STEM and creativity. Bella loves books and good manners. Luna reaches for space and stars. Oliver dives into oceans and marine life.

From screen to the real world

Freddy became a robot, too.

The Besties experiment grew beyond an app into a physical AI companion. A screen, camera, speaker, and 3D-printed body brought Freddy into the room and explored how a character can feel present, responsive, and alive.
