Everything parents ask about Larry — the screen-free AI plush elephant.
Larry is a screen-free AI plush elephant for kids 18 months to 9 years. A small computer inside the elephant handles audio — the parent's iPhone does the AI processing. Kids just talk to Larry and he talks back, remembering what they love and telling personalized stories. No screen, no buttons, no apps for the child.
Larry is designed for kids 18 months to 9 years. Voice-only interaction means no reading or fine motor skills are needed — toddlers can use Larry before they can use a tablet. Younger kids get simple back-and-forth, songs, and stories. Older kids get richer conversations and deeper memory.
Larry ships Q4 2026. Early backers get first access when the payment link opens. Join the waitlist at larry.toys to be notified.
The hardware will be $125–200 CAD (final pricing TBD). A subscription for cloud features, new content, and voice updates is $5–8 CAD per month ($10–12 for a family plan). Character expansions with new personalities and voices will be $20–30 CAD each.
Not always. Larry has three modes:
Larry is screen-free, has no scary content, and doesn't encourage screen time. Parents can set topic boundaries, add sensitive topics to avoid, control mood and energy level, and monitor full conversation history in the app. In private mode, no data leaves your phone. COPPA compliance is planned for launch.
Toniebox is a passive audio player — you place a figure on it and it plays pre-recorded content. Larry talks back. He remembers your child, asks questions, tells personalized stories, and grows with them. Toniebox costs about $100 plus $15–20 per figure. Larry costs $125–200 CAD with a $5–8/month subscription for ongoing AI features.
Amazon Echo Kids is a smart speaker with no physical bond — it's a cylinder in your kitchen that's always listening. Larry is a stuffed elephant your child hugs and carries around. No always-listening cloud surveillance, no ads, no data mining. Parent-controlled everything, and it works offline.
iPhone at launch. Android is planned. The parent's phone is the brain — it handles AI, speech recognition, and voice synthesis. The stuffed elephant is just an audio terminal (mic in, speaker out).
Every Monday, parents get an email summary of what their child talked to Larry about that week — topics, interests, questions asked, and any moments worth noting (like a new fear or curiosity). It's a window into your child's inner world without hovering over them.
