The development is realized in the form of a talking bear.

This is the first innovative project in Moldova that introduces advanced AI technologies in the segment of children’s goods. The development puts the country on the map of creators of sophisticated solutions in the field of EdTech and Consumer AI.

This is not just a “talking bear”. The toy listens, responds, asks questions and reacts to a child’s words in real time. And thanks to speech synthesis technology, it can speak in the voice of parents or loved ones.

“We took what we already know how to do at the business level – voice AI agents that understand, respond and dialog, and transferred it to a physical object,” said the company’s co-founder Alexei Ivantsov.

The development was created at the intersection of technology and psychology. It helps children cope with anxiety, feel more confident and express their emotions more easily.

Do you remember when you were a child and you talked to your toys… and believed that they understood you? Now it’s real.

AI Bear

Step one

According to the head of the Lunara AI team, the toy is only the first step. The main goal of the company is to develop a universal emotional AI platform that can be applied not only in children’s products, but also in education, healthcare and other areas.

The company is already considering the format of cooperation with device manufacturers, offering the technology in the format of an integrated solution.

The presented development demonstrates the potential of creating a new segment in the market – devices capable of not just playing content, but of meaningful interaction with the user.

At the Startup Moldova conference opening tomorrow, anyone will be able to test the toy and see for themselves how it responds to speech.
