@mslagh Thanks!

Imagine a toy that gets smarter with your child's skill level? CogniToys are smart devices in toy form, tailored just for kids to provide an educational and entertaining experience without the need for a screen. Also, it's a DINOSAUR!!! 🙌

This looks great! Does it work with different languages, or only english?
Donald Coolidge
@mikaellowgren Only English for now. English is a big enough challenge :)

This is an amazing toy and a fun way to use IBM's Watson power in the kids learning process. It has many possibilities, good luck.
Donald Coolidge
@germancastano We agree! There are actually some really good use cases outside of kids products that we are exploring.

@donald_coolidge The spanish version could be a possibility?
Donald Coolidge
@germancastano In time if we get enough traction with English. If we do another language Spanish would be a top choice.

Would love to try this product with my newborn son. Do you ship to Europe?
Donald Coolidge
@suijkerwerk thanks for the interest and Amazon should ship to most European countries. As the dino relies on speech recognition a newborn would be too young but thanks for being interested! Maybe in a few years? :)
Donald Coolidge
@suijkerwerk Will do!

would love this for my 1.5 year old boy. we're based in Peru though, i doubt you ship here?!
Donald Coolidge
@amplifiedsteve I would try Amazon - make sure its Amazon.com and not the local site. Please keep in mind the dino is based on speech recognition so its not going to work well with a child 18 months. It would turn into Dads toy.

Thanks @sethlouey! We are very excited to introduce CogniToys to all you Hunters! CogniToys are internet connected smart toys built for kids growing up in the digital age. We are using some of the most advanced technology available to include IBM Watson to give kids a fun, personalized learning experience tailored just for them. The Dinos personality is fun but witty with a ton of educational content that is continually being updated by our team of content writers. We are excited about the educational intelligence but also building out an emotional intelligence as well. The dino will introduce knock knock jokes if a kid says they are mad and we've also built out meditation/relaxation modules. The app that comes with the dino allows parents to set a bedtime - where it will only play bedtime stories when its time to go to sleep. The next evolution is the introduction of a parent panel where we will display learning and engagement metrics to parents. We've had a ton of fun building this out and learned so much along the way. We are an ambitious team is this is just the beginning. Hope you love it!

I love the concept specially because you make the dino "alive" by using IBM Watson. Nice job, keep it up!
Donald Coolidge
@littlepandaatje Thanks! Watson and some of our own tech concoctions :) We will happily take all the credit for the jokes :)
