Problem
Parents seeking engaging educational technology for children often face products that expose kids to inappropriate content, collect personal data without consent, or require constant supervision to ensure safety.
Solution
Miko offers AI-powered interactive robots designed specifically for children, combining voice-driven learning games, storytelling, and creative activities with built‑in safeguards.

A subscription service provides unlimited access to a curated library of premium educational content from partners such as Disney and Da Vinci Kids, supporting multilingual learning, coding lessons, music, and more. The hardware is available in multiple form factors—including the flagship Miko 3, the compact Miko Mini, and a smart chess board—allowing families to choose the size and price point that fits their needs.
