What TELLo does
Everything your child needs, none of what you don't want
Interactive Storybook Reading
TELLo reads stories aloud and listens as your child reads back — asking questions and turning story time into a two-way adventure.
Personalized Study
TELLo learns each child's pace and interests, adapting reading level and subjects — from phonics to early math.
100% Local AI & Privacy
Every interaction is processed on the device itself. No cameras, no cloud uploads, no ads.
Smart Toy Plug-in
Plug TELLo into compatible toys to bring them to life with voice, personality, and interactive stories.

TELLo stays small and simple on its own — plug it into a toy to bring it to life, or into a study screen for personalized lessons.
Smart Toy Mode
Plug TELLo into a compatible toy to give it a voice, personality, and stories.
TELLo
The small round companion — one device, swap where it plugs in.

Read, Learn & Grow Together
TELLo listens and adapts in real time — all processed locally.
Built for trust, first
Nothing recorded. Nothing uploaded. Nothing sold.
We built TELLo because we didn't want a camera or a cloud account between our kids and their bedtime story either. TELLo is an AI companion whose entire brain runs on the device itself.
- On-device AI — voice is processed locally, never streamed to the cloud
- No cameras, ever
- No ads, no third-party trackers, no data resold
- Parent dashboard to review activity and set limits
- Automatic sleep mode when TELLo isn't in use
