Check on Kickstarter
From the time they’re born, kids are subjected to an endless torrent of screens that make them dependent on their devices. Prolonged exposure to screens can cause children to be exposed to inappropriate content, decrease their creativity and focus, and lose precious sleep hours!
And in the classroom, the lack of engaged learning from screens causes kids to become passive learners and reduces educational outcomes. How can we cultivate creativity in our children?
The answer is bi-directional and interactive educational content.
POKORO is an AI-based conversation learning tool that answers the pressing questions on your child’s mind. You can also use POKORO with flashcards and other hands-on content for even more ways to learn.
POKORO is a completely screen-free device for added immersion and enhanced focus and creativity for your child.
Generating an age-appropriate conversation for our users is our first priority. That’s why we filtered out any potentially inappropriate information from POKORO’s response.
Equipped with GPT-4o, POKORO is excellent at talking to adults, too. If you have any questions or want to study a foreign language, POKORO will be more than happy to help!
POKORO is an interactive AI learning partner for the whole family!
POKORO uses GPT-4o for free-flowing, real-time conversation with users of all ages. Unlike other devices, there’s no need to enter a password, open an app, or adjust the volume. All you have to do is push a button and you’re ready to start learning!
With an AI guidance engine, kids can talk about topics they know using familiar vocabulary. Any inappropriate adult content will be automatically filtered out for worry-free learning.
Use POKORO’s variety of flashcards and other analog content to help enhance your child’s curiosity and cultivate an inquisitive nature! Analog contents come with a paired question and answer for in-depth learning. As your child learns more about the topic, they’ll foster further understanding and better their imagination skills.
POKORO is based on the Socratic Method, allowing both the AI and your child to formulate responses to one another for judgment free discussion and help practice free thinking.
When you tap a POKORO card onto the scanner, the device uses our patented “Ncode” to read the encrpyted information and start a conversation with the user.
With a total of 4 categories and 23 cards, POKORO helps your child learn about STEM, astronomy, historical figures, friendships, cooking, reading, and more! These card contents are well-balanced for education on a variety of fields.
“Powered by ChatGPT-4o, POKORO discusses character storylines and motives, encouraging kids to explore the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind the plot. It also serves as a dictionary, helping children expand their vocabulary and making reading more engaging and interactive.“
We’re currently planning collaborations for an even larger content library. As Ncode is used more broadly, POKORO will be able to read books and other analog content from publishers all over the world.
New features will be implemented to curate personalized book recommendations for children based on the books they’ve read, their current interests, and suggested future reading options.
Use POKORO to practice conversation in English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, or Korean. If there’s a word you don’t know, just ask — POKORO won’t judge! With POKORO, you can practice your speaking skills with our native-level AI at a level that’s right for you.
*Even more languages are currently in development
Just pick a language to practice in the POKORO app, and you’ll be able to learn pronunciation and vocabulary from the AI’s native-level fluency. We’re also planning to add a feature that lets POKORO evaluate your Spanish pronunciation!
Plus, POKORO’s ability to switch between languages at the push of a button makes it the perfect translator!
With the POKORO app, you can find out what topics your child likes to ask questions about. The app also suggests curriculum for those topics for expanded learning.
Completely screen-free and equipped with a variety of parental controls, POKORO keeps your child safe from any explicit content on the internet, all while cultivating their focus, creativity and persistence. And if left idle for a few minutes, POKORO will automatically turn off to prevent kids from overusing it.
Made from highly durable ABS, POKORO is perfectly safe for children of all ages.
Small and lightweight, the device is portable and easy for kids to hold and carry. So long as you have a Wi-Fi connection, POKORO can be used anywhere!
With an easy-push button, soothing audio cues, and expressive emotions conveyed through the mesh cover pixel display, POKORO is catered to creating a more engaging learning experience for your child.
We know how important it is to protect user data privacy. That’s why we designed POKORO to only listen when the button is pressed, providing a secure, consent-based experience.
We’ve also made a silicone cover for POKORO with a design that kids love. The cover also minimizes damage to the device from conventional wear and tear. Check the Add Ons section of the campaign for more information!
