No — once it's set up, kids just squeeze the bunny's belly and start talking. The free Buddy AI app (iOS & Android) is only needed for initial setup, which takes about 5 minutes and works best with an adult helping. After that, kids can use it completely on their own.
Yes — the bunny connects to your home WiFi through the free Buddy AI app. Once connected, it works on its own without any further app interaction. If you're setting this up as a gift, it works best to get it connected before gifting.
It's real. The AI listens to what your child says and responds in the moment — not from a list of pre-recorded phrases. It can answer curiosity questions, tell original stories, sing songs, and ask your child questions right back to keep the conversation going.
Yes. Every conversation is saved and viewable in the parent app — so you can read through the full chat history anytime. A built-in safety algorithm also filters all content to keep things age-appropriate from the start.
The bunny's animated eyes react to what your child says — heart eyes when they share something happy, flame eyes when they're feeling feisty, and natural rolling movement during regular conversation. Kids go absolutely wild for it. It makes the bunny feel genuinely alive.
