AI-Powered Plushies : curio

Curio and Grimes teamed up to launch an AI toy with a plush exterior and smart capabilities to take playtime to the next level, and all without reliance on screens. These intelligent interactive companions named Gabbo, Grem and Grok are different from talking plush toys of the past that can only parrot pre-recorded phrases. Each conversational partner has a personality of its own: Grok is a friendly rocket, Grem is a pink-obsessed space alien and Gabbo is a curious adventurer. All of the plush toys were created by Grimes, who also voiced Grok.

These kid-safe plush toys do connect to Wi-Fi but steer clear of screens or cameras, and parents get extra peace of mind by being able to access transcripts of conversations between the toy and their child.
