A screen-free AI companion that makes children curious, not addicted.

Children aged 3–10 spend hours on tablets, but parents struggle to find engaging screen-free alternatives. BigiOne is an AI-powered audio learning device that answers children's questions, tells stories, teaches vocabulary, builds daily routines, and plays lullabies — all through voice, with zero screen time. Parents control everything via a free app. BigiOne grows with the child through a physica

Target group
We believe the future of early childhood education does not have to be screen-based. Our vision is a world where every child — regardless of socioeconomic background — has access to a safe, engaging, and screen-free learning companion during the most critical years of cognitive development. Through BigiOne, we hope to shift the default from passive screen consumption to active, curiosity-driven audio learning. We want to prove that technology can serve children without harming them — that AI can be a force for healthier childhoods. In the long term, we aim to expand BigiOne's language support and reach families across different countries and cultures, making screen-free, multilingual early education accessible to all.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Children today are growing up surrounded by screens. Tablets and smartphones have become the default tools for entertainment and even education — but the evidence is clear: excessive screen time in early childhood harms language development, attention, and sleep. We created BigiOne because we believed there had to be a better way. Parents in Turkey and around the world told us the same thing: they wanted their children to learn, explore, and be curious — but not through a screen. BigiOne was born from this gap. We designed a screen-free AI companion that speaks to children, answers their questions, tells stories, teaches vocabulary in multiple languages, and builds healthy daily routines — all through voice. No screen, no passive consumption, just active listening and learning.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

A child picks up BigiOne, presses a button, and asks "Why is the sky blue?" — BigiOne responds with a simple, age-appropriate, AI-filtered answer. Later, the child listens to a story featuring their favourite licensed character. At bedtime, BigiOne plays a lullaby and softly glows as a night light. Parents control everything through a free companion app: usage hours, content filters, language settings, and sibling profiles. Physical tokens — small objects the child places on the device — unlock new features like messaging with parents or switching story characters. No menus, no touchscreens, no app stores. Just a child and their audio companion.

How has it been spreading?

BigiOne launched in Turkey and has been growing through word-of-mouth among parents who are actively looking for screen-free alternatives. Our community spans social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, where parents share how BigiOne fits into their children's daily routines. We have an active blog — the Ebeveyn Rehberi (Parent Guide) — that supports families with educational content around screen-free learning, language development, and child wellbeing. BigiOne is available through our e-commerce platform with nationwide shipping across Turkey, and we are actively planning international expansion.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

Since launch, we have expanded the BigiOne ecosystem with physical token accessories that unlock new interaction modes — including parent-child voice messaging (ParentBuddy), peer messaging between children (BroBuddy), sibling profile switching (ProfileBuddy), and licensed story characters (StoryBuddy). We have also grown our content library with Turkish proverbs, bilingual vocabulary cards, bedtime routines, and quiz features. The companion app has been updated with content scheduling, usage tracking, and multi-child profile management.
