Create your adventure.

Geni is a story machine.
It creates audio stories out of tiles

One day,

the astronaut met

a robot, and together...

Listen to what happens!

We are a small company in New York committed to safe imaginative play away from the dangers of computers.

Screen-free, limitless creativity.

By mixing and matching story tile (characters, emotions, and objects) every creation becomes a one-of-a-kind audio adventure.

Geni lets kids bring their imagination to life.

Pick from an ever expanding palette of worlds.

Put yourself in the story.

Kids can draw their own tiles, and Geni will incorporate them into the adventure.

“And then as Matilda and her robot friend turned the corner, they saw... an orange cat!”

Kids love it.

It’s fun, it’s open, and they’re learning.

“I really like it because I can do what I want and there’s so much suspense!”
-Olive, 6

“Things float when they’re lighter than water!”
-Romeo, 5

“I put my mom in the story!”
-Emelia, 5

Parents love it too.

They get a break while the kids engage in mind-opening play.

"My kid has always been so curious and asks a million questions. Geni helped her turn all of that into real stories, and the learning is shaped by what she's already interested in. It's like her imagination grew wings"

-Shia A, Mom of 7 y/o

“Putting herself into the story is really engaging. She's not zoning out. She's problem-solving, imagining what happens next, and really thinking. It's everything mindless screen time isn't."

-Tracy T, Mom of 3 and 5 y/o

Born from the Design Intelligence Lab at MIT.

We set out to create low-stim play with high-impact creativity.

Screen-free. Mic-free.

Encourages calm, mindful, hands-on play. Geni invites kids to focus, listen, and build with their own ideas — no screens, no recording, no overstimulation.

Built on Proven Principles.

Inspired by Montessori and Constructionist learning, Geni empowers kids to learn by doing: exploring cause and effect, storytelling structure, and emotional understanding through tactile, creative play.

Never the Same Story Twice.

Every combination of tiles sparks something new. Each play session brings a fresh adventure, encouraging open-ended thinking and curiosity that never repeats.

With parents at the heart.

Set age and filters, define goals, and introduce your own lessons.

Select age (3-12).

Age 3: Prefers simple, repetitive language and predictable patterns. Drawn to relatable characters and everyday themes.

Set learning goals.

This week, what do you want Geni to focus on?

If your child discovers a new interest, you can dial in as much of that as you want.

Direct their learning.

Add a goal and Geni will gracefully incoporate your input into their stories.

Towards effortless knowledge.

The concepts in the stories deepen as cognition expands.

Learning that grows with each child.

Every booklet comes with an expert-designed curriculum that breaks concepts into kid-friendly story moments. Each adventure builds on what came before, creating a continuous learning journey.

Curiosity and play drive knowledge.

Facts are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they’re part of a story. And Geni is smart enough to adapt to your child’s age, interests, and developmental needs.

Frequently asked questions

We built Geni with strict safety in mind.

Geni is an AI-powered storytelling toy that helps kids create their own stories through play. Children choose physical tiles like characters, objects, or emotions, and Geni transforms them into short, screen-free audio adventures.

Geni is designed for kids ages 3-8, though we've had younger and older siblings join in on the fun during playtests!

Geni needs Wi-Fi to create new stories, but once created, stories can be downloaded and played offline.

Stories are adjustable! Parents can personalize the length in the companion app to fit your child’s needs, and stories are saved and can be replayed anytime.

Geni is still in development and preparing for beta launch soon. You can reserve one to be among the first to try it!

We’re still finalizing pricing since we’re in development. You can reserve a Geni now for $5 (fully refundable), which will go toward the cost of your Geni when we launch.
