Alilo shows a range of screen-free “smart toy” designs that mix classic infant sensory play with embedded audio and connectivity, starting with a soft, light-up rattle/globe aimed at babies under one year. Instead of a single fixed jingle, the toy cycles through multiple sound profiles when shaken, while a diffused LED core steps through seven colors for low-light feedback and calming routines. https://www.aliloai.com/products/smart-ai-bunny
The more technical demo is an AI Smart Bunny that behaves like a voice-first companion: mic + speaker, on-device buttons for modes (music, light, AI talk), and optional offline playback via local storage or a memory card. With Wi-Fi available, the bunny can be configured to call a cloud LLM endpoint (described as OpenAI API, with the option to swap in other providers), so a press-to-talk interaction becomes conversational Q&A, story generation, and language practice without a screen in use.
Under the hood, the conversation lands on the radio/compute building blocks: the PCB integrates a Quectel FC41D Wi-Fi + Bluetooth module built around an ARM968-class MCU. That points to a typical 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n + Bluetooth 5.2 stack and modern Wi-Fi security (WPA2/WPA3), which matters when the device sits on a home network alongside other IoT gear. The interview is filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where this “toy meets module” approach is turning into a repeat pattern today.
A recurring theme is child safety at the software layer: the pitch is that responses can be constrained for age-appropriate content, and that the UI stays intentionally simple so a small child can operate it with predictable outcomes. The demo also highlights what is not included—no camera in the bunny—so the experience is primarily audio plus LED cues, reducing data capture while still enabling personalization through prompts and curated audio libraries there.
Beyond the bunny, Alilo also shows educational SKUs like a child calculator aimed at early school ages, with graded difficulty that can move from basic arithmetic toward larger-number prompts. Taken together, the booth visit is a snapshot of how early-learning toys are being re-architected around low-power wireless MCUs, local audio pipelines, and optional cloud inference—useful context if you track where conversational UI meets family-oriented embedded hardware right now here.
